WA PRIDE PARADEPride WA is now calling for participants in the 2015 PRIDE PARADE which will again light up the streets of Northbridge on Saturday 21 November from 8 pm.

The PARADE is the signature event of PrideFEST, and will again be a huge celebration to cap off the 16-day festival of arts, entertainment and community events.

Pride WA President Andrew Barker said, “We’re excited to announce applications for the PRIDE PARADE are now open. The PARADE is undoubtedly the highlight of PrideFEST and encourages all members of Perth’s LGBTIQ community to get involved.”

“This invitation is extended to WA’s wider community groups and individuals who would like to march and show their support for WA’s LGBTIQ community and help us celebrate 25 fabulous years of Pride.”

The PARADE will kick off the celebrations for the final evening event of PrideFEST, followed by the popular Urban Orchard Garden Party in the Perth Cultural Centre.

There will of course be PARADE prizes for the best entrants, with award categories being announced soon.

“We’re looking for people to go all out and do their best this year to reflect the 2015 theme, ‘Silver City – celebrating 25 fabulous years,” Mr Barker said.

As well as symbolising the silver anniversary, the “Silver City” theme recognises the special and historic links inner-city Perth has had with the Pride community and the valuable support the City of Perth and City of Vincent have shown to Pride WA over the years, as well as the organisation’s growing relationship with the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority.
