Established in 2010, Liverpool Pride will return for a seventh consecutive year and this year will see big changes to how it is organised and presented, it will also return as free to enter.
The event, described as an all new Liverpool Pride, will take a more prominent and visual position in the city, taking over St George’s Cultural Quarter, including St George’s Hall, The Plateau, William Brown Street and St John’s Gardens.
Liverpool Pride have teamed up with Orb Events to deliver this year’s festival programme, the company who created the very first Pride event in 2010. The festival will carry a brand new identity with a new logo and website created. The 2016 event promises to be one of the most visual and flamboyant Pride events ever to have been created.
The date always coincides with the anniversary of when murdered gay teenager Michael Causer tragically lost his life. Michael died on 2 August 2008, and the festival was specifically created in his memory as a way to celebrate his life and empower the LGBT communities. This year’s Liverpool Pride takes place the weekend before what would have also been Michael’s 27th birthday.
The majestic backdrop St George’s Quarter – the thriving cultural sector of the city centre – will be transformed into a colourful festival site bursting with activities over the two days. There will be live music and entertainment, food and drink zones, community and education zones, a market place and family activities and speakers. Liverpool Pride will remain a family friendly event with all ages encouraged to attend. The Sunday will take a more laid-back approach in St John’s Gardens and a programme of Fringe events are being programmed on the lead up to the main Pride weekend.
The increasingly popular and poignant Liverpool Pride March remains a major part of the activity. The March on Saturday 30th July, will begin and end at the festival site of St George’s Hall, it will make its way through the streets of the city centre in celebratory style and return to officially launch the opening day. Organisers are encouraging as many groups, organisations and individuals to participate as possible. The March will also feature guest speakers representing the LGBT communities.
