While you may have seen the earlier galleries of Pride featuring the Sitges float, we also had our cameras covering other floats at the event.

The guys were hot, the floats were amazing and the atmosphere was electric!

We’re still going through the photos with more than 2,500 taken, so those of you looking for shots of the cute Spiderman or the Man dressed only in Chains!!! will have to wait.

With an estimated 40,000 to 50,000 people attending and participating, the event has surpassed everyone’s expectations and bodes well for Sitges First Pride on July 9th to 11th 2010.

Once again, a huge thank you to everyone that was involved on the day. Stay tuned for exciting news of Gay Pride Sitges over the comming days.
