Pride returns next weekend
The festival will see the LGBTQ+ community and its allies come together to dance, celebrate, laugh and commemorate all that has been achieved. After last year's tragic increase of reports of homophobic and transphobic hate crimes within Liverpool, the events will make for the perfect opportunity to show how the community stands together and that hate nor bigotry will win.
The organisation responsible for delivering the celebrations, LCR Pride Foundation, announced this year's festival will move from its usual site on Tithebarn Street to Liverpool’s Pier Head. The change in location comes due to "circumstances beyond the organisation's control after it was informed that roadworks were due to start imminently on Tithebarn Street, meaning the originally planned site would not be 'not safe or viable' for the event on the day.
The Pier Head site for Pride in Liverpool will be open from noon and its stage, which has been programmed by Sound City, will spring to life from 1 pm, as the city’s March With Pride arrives at the festival site. The stage will be hosted throughout the day by Jordan Lee from Radio City and Hits Radio Pride and Jay Hynd from The Guide.
"Despite the change in location the event remains completely free and we are sure that Pride In Liverpool at Pier Head will be worth the wait. We are also continuing to work and support businesses in Liverpool's Pride Quarter and across the city with their plans for the day, so the whole city can show its support for our LGBT+ community. With LIMF also taking place in the city, we're expecting a busy weekend.
