DSQ's Diversity & Inclusion Festival 2026 - In partnership with Equinix and Aldgate Connect

Wednesday, 1st July 2026 - From 5.30pm to 8pm

On Wednesday, 1st July, Devonshire Square (DSQ), in partnership with Equinix and Aldgate Connect, will celebrate Diversity & Inclusion with a vibrant evening of dance, music and cultural entertainment in the atmospheric setting of the Western Courtyard.

Taking place from 5.30pm to 8pm, this free-to-attend event will showcase outstanding performers from the LGBTQIA+ community and artists from diverse cultural backgrounds. The evening will open with an energetic performance by Project Dance, directed by acclaimed choreographer James Bamford,  featuring some of the most iconic Pride songs of all time and popular Latin music hits.

A highlight of this year’s celebration is a focus on Hispanic cultures, with captivating performances presented by En Vivo Latino, including salsa, bachata, merengue and the dynamic Cuban Rueda de Casino. Guests will also be invited to join the dancers for an interactive finale designed to bring everyone together on the dance floor.

The programme also features a special performance by Bollyqueer, blending Bollywood dance with a strong message of LGBTQ+ inclusion, before culminating in a spectacular finale from the Fabulous Globe Girls, who will host a lively group karaoke session in partnership with Lucky Voice.

Registered attendees will enjoy complimentary welcome drinks, canapés and selected signature dishes from Devonshire Square’s renowned restaurants and bars, Devonshire Terrace by Drake and Morgan, Cinnamon Kitchen and Anise Bar, available on a first-come, first-served basis.

In addition to the evening’s inspiring performances and a food and drink tasting experience, attendees can enjoy a delightful Pick & Mix corner featuring a colourful selection of complimentary sweets in Pride colours and a variety of delicious flavours, offering something for everyone while celebrating the vibrant spirit of the event.
