The Liverpool Pride March 2011, in association with Merseytravel.
The undoubted highlight of the festival, the Pride March gives the LGBT community, their friends and their families the chance to parade through Liverpool’s streets in a blaze of colour, music and, this year, hippies, whilst raising awareness of homophobia in the local area.
The march is planned to start at St Georges Plateau, Lime St, from 12pm (participants are asked to gather from 11am) and take in Lime St, Queen Square Bus Station, Whitechapel, Lord Street and North John Street before turning down James Street, crossing The Strand over Mann Island and ending in front of the main stage at the Pier Head. The arrival of the march at Dale Street will see the start of the Liverpool Pride music festival, which will include a wealth local, regional and national talent.
Last year, over 3,000 people took part in the Liverpool Pride march including gay bars, shops, restaurants, organisations and support groups in addition to many individuals and their nearest and dearest so why not sign up now?
For 2011, the Liverpool Pride march will be celebrating the Summer of Love theme that was adopted earlier in the year by members of the LGBT community. So start thinking about your costumes and entries now! Those wishing to take part are encouraged to dress up, think outside the box and be as creative as possible bearing in mind the diversity of the Summer of Love theme. Come dressed in a Summer of Love style that suits you, remember we’ve had over 40 summers since the 60’s ended, which was your Summer of Love?
