2010 Leicester Pride Returns

2010 Leicester Pride Returns

After the overwhelming success of last year’s events, Leicester Pride is set to return to the city on Saturday 4th September 2010. I will be Joining the March as a Gay Town Councillor, this year will be much bigger and better thanks to growing support and recognition from Leicester City Council and the LGBT community. I hope members of Oakham Town Council wont be offended by the photographs I look forward to taking these will include Drag Queens, Dancers, Stilt Walkers and other Entertainers,

A more direct route is in negotiation, taking the parade through the heart of the city to the festival site on Belgrave gate which is set to expand out into the surrounding streets as more market stalls and fairground attractions are added.

After consultation with members of the Leicester Pride Facebook groups, the committee are proud to announce that this year’s events will have a “fairy tale” theme throughout. The build up to the big day officially starts on Saturday June 5th 2010 with scene-wide “Alice in Wonderland” themed events taking place at each of the gay venues in the city.
