25 fantastic images from this year's Stroud Pride event
STROUD Pride celebrated its first march as part of this year's event.
The celebration, in its seventh year, took place in the sunshine yesterday, Saturday, June 28.
The march made its way through the town, closing Kendrick Street and George Street, before finishing at Bank Gardens for a picnic.
At the gardens, there were stalls, speeches and entertainment hosted by Feral Cole and Pandy LeRoux.
Performances came from Queer Voices choir, Some Voices choir, Miss Demeanor Mccall, Misty Monique and Carrie Sauce.
Stroud MP Simon Opher also stopped by to show his support.
Speaking after the event, a spokesperson from Stroud Pride said: "A huge thank you to every person that made today possible.
"We pulled off Stroud Pride's first march.
"We saw a lot of people come through the park and we helped show every person that Stroud cares."
Stroud Pride has been running since 2018 and is entirely volunteer-run.
