Caerphilly’s first ever Pride event is now less than 100 days away.
Pride Caerffili, which is being organised by Caerphilly County Borough Council, will be a day-long celebration to recognise LGBTQ+ people’s contribution to society.
The “family friendly” celebrations will take place on June 24, from 12pm until 7pm and will include live entertainment and an “iconic” Pride parade.
The event will include live music and entertainment from award-winning drag queen Miss Tina Sparkle, along with activities from comprehensive schools and youth services in the area – as well as a Pride Parade.
The parade will set off from St Martin’s School at 12pm, making its way through the town and looping around the Twyn car park, where it will finish.
Council cabinet member Carol Andrews, who is the authority’s LGBTQ+ champion, said: “We are very excited to be nearing the date of our first ever Pride Caerffili.
“The day promises to be a fun-filled celebration of our LGBTQ+ community in Caerphilly County Borough.”
