Saturday 29 & Sunday 30 July 2017
The organisers of Liverpool Pride, the regions annual LGBT festival are delighted to announce that one of the city�s most popular events will be returning. Liverpool Pride is a free event, and this year�s festival will again take place across two days.
Liverpool Pride Festival has revealed that acclaimed Mersey singer
Marc Almond will headline the Summer 2017 event.
The former Soft Cell front man is originally from Southport. He has sold over 30 million records worldwide, and is appearing at Liverpool Pride for the first time just weeks after he celebrates his 60th birthday.
The theme for Liverpool Pride 2017 is
International Love, with organisers spreading the Liverpool message far and wide. Liverpool Pride�s International Love theme will also complement a city-wide season of events and performances to mark the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love. The 50 Summers of Love season will run from May to August 2017.
Liverpool Pride will return to St George�s Quarter for a second year. The festival site covers the areas of St George�s Hall Plateau, St John�s Gardens and William Brown Street, and will feature three stages.
Liverpool Pride is one of the city�s most popular, visual and flamboyant events in the calendar. It attracts thousands of colourful characters in creative costumes, as well as families, who take to the streets to support the Pride cause.
The date of Liverpool Pride 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.
