As Pride in Cape Town gains popularity, the annual Pride Festival held each February in Cape Town provides a platform for everyone in the LGBT+ community to raise awareness issues and advocate for the freedoms that will allow them to live their lives with dignity and equality. As the Parade marches through the heart of the CBD, those in celebration have the opportunity to become visible and voice what they have accomplished, how far they have come and what they still need. Events include a Pride Film Premiere, pool parties, workshops, Mr and Ms Cape Town Pride pageant, a sunset beach picnic and a Pink Ball.
