The date and theme for Liverpool Pride 2018 has finally been announced.
The festival, which is free to attend, will be back this summer and taking on the theme of #AllTogetherNow.
The event, which is now in its 9th year, will take place Saturday 28 July and Sunday 29 July 2018. The location has not yet been released but wherever it will be held, the region will celebrate with a hugely colourful and musical affair.
The purpose of Liverpool Pride is to raise the awareness of (whilst celebrating) the LGBTQ+ community. It has grown over time to become one of the city’s major annual events; last year a record 8000 people participated in the march and over 50,000 individuals enjoyed the 2 day programme of entertainment.
The 2018 theme #AllTogetherNow was devised to take into consideration every branch of the LGBTQ+ and wider communities and therefore will be a positive event centred on diversity (in terms of ethnicity and belief as well as sexuality and gender).
John Bird, Trustee of Liverpool Pride Charity said: “2018 is a momentous year for the city, and we wanted to add to that in the best way Pride possibly could. This year’s theme can be interpreted in so many different ways; but mostly we see it as all our communities coming together in joint celebration of equality, diversity and visibly demonstrating that no matter what our gender, ethnicity, sexuality, faith or however a person identifies, we are #AllTogetherNow.”
