PrideFest returns to Wandle Park
After two long years, the wait is over – Croydon PrideFest is back!
As usual it will be welcoming the whole community to enjoy the entertainment, atmosphere and amazing food and drink on offer.
This year’s theme is ‘bringing the Love back into Croydon’ as well as celebrating Croydon’s LGBT+ community. The day will begin with a Pride parade travelling along North End, through central Croydon to Wandle Park, where the event will be hosted.
At this free event visitors will enjoy live music, cabaret, street food, licensed bars and stalls between 12-8pm.
On stage we will have the star of Ru Paul’s Drag Race, Scarlett Harlett and back by popular demand, Abbalicious, Asifa Lahore, and Star - just to name a few.
This time attendees are asked to sign up for free tickets to ensure that there is good control of numbers at this amazing outdoor event.
“It’s great to see the return of the Croydon PrideFest after so long. I’m delighted that the Council and the Metropolitan police continue to show their support to Croydon’s LGBT+ community and thank them for their commitment to ensure the borough is a safe and welcoming destination for all. We want to thank our sponsors, without whom we would not be able to run the event" Paula Goodwin, Chair of the Pride steering group
Sponsors of this year's Pride event include: Unilever, Superdrug, HSBC, Fat Beehive, Centrale, Croydon BID, London South Bank University, Croydon Council (towards 2023 Croydon, Borough of Culture), Think Events London Ltd and Allianz.
Croydon Pridefest is a free admission event, organised by Croydon Pride Limited in partnership with Think Events London Ltd, The Oval Tavern and Frantic productions. For further information please see http://www.croydonpride.org.uk/
