Manchester Pride : Day By Day
| Friday, 15th til Monday, 25th August |
Manchester Pride : Celebrating 18 Years! @ Gay Village : Canal Street, Manchester
It's hard to believe that Manchester Pride has been around for 18 years - maybe because of it's various guises as Mardi Gras, GayFest, EuroPride and the AbFab Weekend. During that time, it's built itself up to one of the biggest Pride events in the country and is now a registered charity in its own right. This year will be a right old celebration - you can expect the usual fun and frolics in and around Manchester's Gay Village and Canal Street with all the venues doing their utmost to keep that party going all weekend. There'll be stages, and group areas, along with markets and foodstalls. The week's run up to the big weekend will also feature lots of other events - from clubbing and partying through to arts and cultural entertainment.
Check nearer the time for full details of performance lineups, all the events and clubnights on REALManchester.com and REALPride.com!

HIV Candlelit Vigil @ Sackville Gardens, Manchester
The HIV Candlelit Vigil is the closing event of Manchester Pride 2008. Take a minute to remember the people we have lost to the virus, and to join together to fight the epidemic world-wide. The Vigil is the spiritual heart of the Manchester Pride weekend and there is a truly magical and moving atmosphere as Sackville Park stands in quiet reflection in the flickering candlelight. Manchester Pride would like to thank the George House Trust, without whom, the candlelit vigil would not be possible.
