Manchester Pride Announces Alternative 2020 Festival

LGBT+ charity Manchester Pride has announced they will deliver an alternative festival in Greater Manchester in August.

Celebrated in the bank holiday of August 2020, the Alternative Manchester Pride Festival 2020 will feature free content that can be enjoyed by those who wish to celebrate from the safety of their own homes.

As ‘Revolution 962’ reports, the Alternative Manchester Pride Festival 2020 will be delivered online in partnership with United We Stream Greater Manchester. Manchester Pride will curate a series of live performances and DJ sets with a number of special guests and partners alongside some legacy performances from previous events and a very special presentation of the Manchester Pride Parade for 2020.

Chief executive Mark Fletcher said: “We have had an unbelievably tough four months as I know many other organisations both commercial and otherwise have and I am very proud that we are still in a position to deliver this much needed celebration of LGBTQ+ life.

“The country is still in shock and many members of our community have been adversely affected by the pandemic, whilst also our Trans and BAME families have faced further challenges.

“It is more important than ever that we keep conversations around equality and inclusion heard whilst also providing much needed entertainment.”
