The Cape Town Pride Parade takes place in Green Point on Saturday in celebration of the LGBTQI+ community, and to highlight the struggles and challenges they continue to face.
The event is the culmination of the week-long Cape Town Pride Festival.
“The event also provides a tourism boost to the local economy, through the approximately 6000 people attending the Pride Week Festival from outside the city.
“This helps our efforts to create jobs and for that, the City is extremely grateful,’ said Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, Alderman JP Smith.
Sartuday’s parade will start at midday in Chiappini Street in De Waterkant and move towards Reddam Field at the Green Point Urban Park.
A moment of silence will be observed to honour fallen members of the LGBT+ community.
At Urban Park, the crowd will be entertained by some top local and international musos.
