Liverpool Pride 2011
Saturday 6th August 2011, Liverpool Pier Head
Dust off those Rainbow Flags and get ready to celebrate all things LGB&T once more, Liverpool Pride is delighted to announce that this year’s festival will take place on Saturday, 6th August on Liverpool’s iconic waterfront.
Plans for this year’s festival are already in the making, in order to ensure that Liverpool Pride 2011 is as successful as last year’s, which was the first official LGBT Pride festival to be held in the city in over a decade, attracting over 21,000 people.
For one day only the city will transform into a massive party venue with a celebration taking place around Liverpool’s gay quarter. Following a march around the city centre, the Pier Head will be closed off all day for the glittering Pride street party including stages, a wide range of live entertainment, musical acts, street performers, outrageous sideshows and a host of market and refreshment stalls.
The fun doesn’t stop at sunset… far from it! As day turns to night, Liverpool’s thriving gay scene will gear into action with a large number of venues holding exciting Pride events especially for the night
Festival organisers have also confirmed that the event will remain FREE so that everybody who can and wants to take part can do so.
The date chosen by the community will mark the third anniversary of the death of Michael Causer, a young gay man who was murdered in 2008. His death brought together the community and Liverpool city council leading to the revival of the festival.
