There promises to be a carnival atmosphere as Swansea Pride returns for another year on Saturday, May 18, with a colourful parade through the city centre followed by an afternoon of live entertainment in front of the Guildhall.
Once again, the festival is free and an open invitation is extended to all.
The annual parade is set to depart from Wind Street at 11am and will make its way along Oxford Street and St. Helen’s Road to the Guildhall.
A stage will be set up in the car park at the front of the building hosting live entertainment between noon and 7pm.
There will also be food and refreshment stalls as well as traders selling a range of items and merchandise.
Just like last year, the Swansea Pride Community Zone will be indoors in the neighbouring Brangwyn Hall with lots of information stalls from organisations, support services, charities, community groups and some craft traders as well.
Swansea Pride is organised independently but supported by Swansea Council.
Council Cabinet Member for Investment, Regeneration, Events and Tourism, Robert Francis-Davies said: “Once again the council is proud to be supporting the hard-working volunteers who do such a great job in making Swansea Pride the inclusive celebration that it is.
“This year is shaping-up to be as good ever and we are very grateful to them.”
Council leader Rob Stewart, said: “This free event is one of the highlights of the year and there is an open invitation for people across Swansea and beyond to come along and enjoy what is always a great carnival atmosphere.”
