Remnants from the Margate Pride held on August 13th 2016.


A Summer programme of LGBT cultural, educational and social events in Margate. Followed by a Pride Parade, a Rally and an incredible Afterparty at Dreamland. Margate Pride is a culture-rich contemporary Pride - a celebration of all of Thanet's queerness & LGBTQI life, a chance for everyone to celebrate liberation - gay, straight, everything, nothing and all the in-between!   With an estimated 2000 visitors planning the journey to Margate Pride 2016 will have a positive impact on the East Kent celebrating alternative culture, community activism and local & international talent. Building on pervious celebrations, Margayte Pride in 2013 and Kent Pride in 2015, Margate Pride CIC was launched as a new artist-led organization in 2016. Support from the Big Lottery and the Arts Council England, Thanet District Council, Kent County Council, Dreamland, and local businesses has generated commissions by Queer artists and cultural producers working in the town bringing a spotlight to their work, encourage community group involvement, and celebrate Margate in a wider context.
