Norwich Pride is about to kick off its celebrations with a Rainbow Party at the Norfolk Showground.
The event will take place on September 11 from 5-10pm.
Pride organises an annual celebration of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT+) community to encourage a community of diversity and acceptance.
A third of the ticket price will be donated to two LGBT+ charities - Norwich Pride and Educate & Celebrate.
The “rainbow extravaganza” will showcase music by DJ’s, drag artists and divas.
The family-friendly event will entertain the crowd with a range of performances and food provided by Eating Street, an outdoor street food market.
Norwich Pride Trustee Julie Bremner said “I am delighted to be involved in creating the Rainbow Party at the Norfolk Showground.
“The event will be inclusive and fun-filled, with great music and entertainment. After a difficult few months, I would love people to be able to come and enjoy the music in an outdoor setting, where social distancing will be actively managed.”
