Pride Week

The 2007 JOBURG PRIDE WEEK celebrations officially kick off on Thursday 27 September. A number of events will also take place across Gauteng in the week preceding the parade. Clubs and entertainment venues in Joburg and Pretoria will be hosting numerous parties, while community organisations will be presenting seminars on more serious topics.

Got gizmo’s and gifts or bits n pieces? Book your stall at the Zoo Lake Sports Club, where the Joburg Gay Pride Parade starts and finishes this year, and access a captive market!

We’re expecting 10 000 people to join the festivities this year, partly because we’ve formed a new Section 21 company (non-profit organisation), and partly because Pride is turning 18 this year, and Coming of Age!

The stand is a 3m x 3m area on the field at the venue, and only costs R200. So bring your wares and add to the vibe!
