Pride In Trafford will return to the Waterside in Sale in May, with its annual celebration of the LGBTQ+ community in the borough. The official launch of the festival will take place on Waterside Plaza on Wednesday 15 May, marking The International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia.
Brand new for this year’s event is the Block Party Weekender, a two-day celebration to close the festival, championing inclusivity and unity with live performances, family activities and comedy on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 May.
Elsewhere, this year’s event has a particular focus on community engagement and developing new queer talent, starting with The Queer Creatives Assembly, a free event open to all who wish to connect, collaborate, and celebrate with other LGBTQ+ creatives from Greater Manchester.
