[Sponsored] Hong Kong’s annual Pride Parade is set to return next Saturday in a day of fun-filled festivities guaranteed to be eye-catching. Come dressed in your most vibrant outfit and paint the city the colour of the rainbow.
The march will begin at Victoria Park in Causeway Bay with attendees heading west towards Edinburgh Place in Central.
“Rain and storm didn’t keep us away from the pride parade in the past. This year, no matter how bad the situation may seem, we will keep fighting for the Equal Justice and Equal Rights,” an event statement read.
Organisers have applied for a Letter of No Objection from the police.
According to organisers, over 12,000 people dressed in lilac outfits and rainbow ribbons attended the march last November, marking a 2,000 person increase from the year before. The police put the figure at around 4,300. The theme last year was “Proud purple.”
