Pride Cymru is back

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It’s been 3 years since the last event but finally the brightest event of the year is back in Cardiff.

This year the event spans over two days on Saturday August 27 and Sunday August 28 at Cardiff City Hall Lawns.

Attendees can expect three stages, a mile-long parade, a great selection of food, cabaret, family area and much more.

The parade, sponsored by S4C, will see over 15,000 people walk the historic route from the Capitol shopping centre before heading along Queen Street. Members of the public are invited to watch and celebrate all the participants.

The parade is on Saturday and has been a fixture in the calendar since 1985. It will start at 11am from Windsor Place. Entry to the parade is free with a suggested £2 donation, and entry to the festival stages is ticketed.

The line-up on Saturday includes Spice Girl Melanie C, Drag Race UK star Bimini, Cardiff-based pop star Dead Method, the South Wales Gay Men’s Chorus and a handful of other Welsh singers, drag acts, DJs and more. Sunday will play host to an equally sparkling roster which includes Boney M, BBC Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts and Welsh of the West End.

Tickets £20 on gate.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
