Portsmouth’s first Pride Parade will take place at noon on Saturday, June 20 with a promise to bring colour to Portsmouth City Centre.
THE Parade will start and finish in Victoria Park, leaving the park via the entrance next to the Stanhope Road car park, then turning towards the Stanhope Road pedestrian crossing on to Commerical Road and up towards the main shopping area.
At the Jubilee Fountain there will be music and entertainment, then the parade will progress around the fountain, and take the same route back to Victoria Park.
Pride Chair, David Lee-Bastable, said: “Everyone is welcome to take part.”
“We want to see lots of families joining in the fun by waving their rainbow flags and blowing their whistles. Pride is an opportunity to celebrate the best of our community and to promote the ideals of equality and diversity in the Portsmouth area and beyond.”
