Cape Town - Despite going virtual, the Cape Town Pride Parade is all about visibility this year, said festival director Mathew van As.
The annual festive parade is set to follow other large-scale events by moving on to virtual platforms and will host daily events this month, culminating in its main event – a virtual pride parade and Mardi Gras. The theme this year is #YOUMATTER.
Thousands of members of the LGBTQIA+ community and allies have been gathering for the parade, donning rainbow-themed outfits, flags, and signs for the past 19 years.
