Pride London Festival is winding down, but there are still some big events planned for the weekend.
Thousands of people are expected to come out for the festival’s final days, which will feature the 7th annual Pride in the Park and The 24th annual London Pride Parade.
“We have a huge lineup of entertainers. A ton of vendors and food vendors as well as a TD Kids Zone. We’re the only festival to have a pet zone, so we have the ARF Ontario pet zone as well,” said Andrew Rosser, president Pride London Festival.
Pride in the Park starts Friday and runs through to Sunday.
“Miss Affra-Tighty’s Elegant Ensemble [will be performing] and that features some of London’s best drag queens.”
