Similar to the world renowned BBC Last Night at the Proms it is an evening of music to be enjoyed by everyone.

As the producer of tonight s Pride Proms I am delighted to announce that the line-up of music reflects the contribution LGBTI+ composers, song writers, choreographers and performing artists have made to the world of music and entertainment. Quite frankly the performing arts world would be less creative and with less talent than without the enormous contribution from our community. That is something that we can all be proud of.

So, get comfortable, and prepare to be entertained ... and have a wonderful night ...

Cape Town Pride

Cape Town Pride is an annual event on the city’s calender and is now in it’s 14th year.

The current Pride format started as a one day, street event in De Waterkant. Since then it has grown from a few hundred participants to an event that attracts thousands of people from all sections of our very diverse community.

Cape Town Pride has also grown in to a two week event with up to 30 events including the Pride Awards which honour those people who have worked for and helped the LGBT+ community. This year, for the first time Pride celebrates the amazing contribution LGBT+ performers and artists have made with the Cape Town Pride Proms.

A further feather in our cap is that InterPride, and international body with representation on every continent has voted Cape Town Pride The best Pride in Africa!
