The streets of Swansea are set to be transformed into a sea of colour and rainbow flags next month as Swansea Pride festival returns to the city. The festival, which celebrates the LGBTQ+ community and raises awareness of LGBTQ+ issues in the city, last took place in Swansea in May 2019 - you can see a collection of our best photos from the event here - and will predominantly take place this year on Saturday, April 30, 2022.
Most of the festivities will be based at the National Waterfront Museum and Museum Green in Swansea city centre, but additional events are expected to take place in other locations too. Full details are expected to be shared nearer the date, but so far organisers have confirmed there will be a parade on Wind Street at 11am, followed by a festival and stalls at the National Waterfront Museum and Museum Green from 12pm to 7pm. The event is free to attend and is taking place in partnership with Swansea Council, the National Waterfront Museum and Jermin Productions.
