Gay Pride Sitges took part at the official Barcelona Pride Parade on Sunday 28th June.
A huge thank you to those who took part and to all of those from Sitges who made the effort to leave the beach and head to Barcelona to support the promotion of both the Pride event and the town of Sitges itself, to the biggest audience possible, just a 30 minutes train journey away.
A special thank you to Luis Enriquez, President of AFGAL, The Markatu Band, the AFGAL Volunteers, Lady Diamond and Miss Ruby who yesterday were probably the most photographed people in Barcelona (even appearing in National Daily El Periódico), the staff of XXL and Hernan, Ivan and Victor from Parrots, whose costumes, energy and enthusiasm are an inspiration!
See you in Sitges for Pride in July, less than 2 weeks away. You can view all of the photos of the Pride Parade on Gay Sitges Guide’s gallery below. We had 4 photographers covering the event, so more photos will be added of the other floats during the week! Enjoy.
Improv Everywhere has launched a global call to action “No pants! Subway Ride”. On Sunday 10 January at 16.00h, those who would like to take part in the event should meet at the entrance of Marina (L1).
The aim is to provoke fun and laughter..not to shock anyone.. so you have to wear some sort of underwear (advice is be practical..there will be lots of Cameras). Check out the video of last year’s event in NYC.
You can find out more by visiting the Barcelona Chapter’s Facebook Page here. Enjoy!
Continuing on from yesterday’s inbox requests.. it appears there is huge appetite for the Circuit Festival after this year’s record 50,000 attendance numbers and EUR 75 million spend in Barcelona and Sitges during the 8 day spectacular event.
We’ll we’re waiting on confirmation of the dates for the 2010 event. As soon as we have them, we will let you know, but we think its safe to say that it will be along the lines of last year’s first week in August. Stay tuned to us on twitter for the latest updates as we get them.
And if you are looking for the best place to stay for the event in August 2010.. then we suggest the brand new spectacular W-Hotel by Mar Bella beach in Barcelona! Check out the best rates here.
For those of you who were not add Barcelona Pride, or for those of you who want to remember the event, here is a video capturing the best bits of the parade and the after party. Our thanks to the guys at SnazzMedia.com for their production.
