Belfast Pride 2004

31^st July - 7^th August

This year's Pride festival kicks off with a genuine first for the LGBT community of Belfast - an official civic reception at City Hall, hosted by the Lord Mayor, on Saturday 31^st July. This event is strictly ticket-only, so contact civiclaunch@hotmail.com if you'd like to attend.

2004's Pride Guide is bigger and better than ever and is now available - check the Guide or www.belfastpride.com for details of everything that's happening.

QueerSpace's event for 2004 is a real treat - a magical mystery tour of Queer Belfast. We're hiring a bus and lining up guest speakers to provide a humorous, warm and informative look at the history and herstory of the LGBT community in Belfast. There'll be prizes, goody bags and of course, great craic. All presided over by the hostess Revvlon.

Tickets are £5. Early booking is advised - email us for more details.

QueerSpace organizes and endorses a wide range of Regular Events. See also the Special Events lined up for this month.
