To everyone who took part.. you were amazing. To everyone who saw it, you know what we mean. To everyone who didn’t here is the proof you needed, if ever, that Sitges knows how to throw a party like no other place on earth. Enough said.. we’ll let the photos do the talking!
A huge thank you to the Panteres Grogues who in addition to hosting the Beach Volleyball competitions on Saturday morning, also worked as marshals during the Pride parade.
The volleyball competitions took place on La Fragata beach in front of the church on Saturday morning.
Despite the late night partying, many ventured out early to watch the games take place on the beach.
Check out the photos of the event on Gay Sitges Guide below.
Angie Brown wowed the crowds in Sitges on Friday night, not once, but twice as she came down to the village early for a sound check.
Angie sang a range of songs from her repertoire including the specially commissioned Pride Anthem, “The Word Is Out” which can be purchased online on the official Pride Website.
Check out the photos of Angie Brown’s performance on Gay Sitges Guide below.
A huge thank-you to one our Sponsors, es collection, whose fashion show went down a storm at Gay Pride Sitges on Friday night… Hot weather, hot guys and a hot location..what more could you ask for check out the photos on Gay Sitges Guide and on the official Gay Pride Sitges website.
The hosts of the Pride, the stunning ladies from El Candil really stole the show at Sitges first Pride.
They kept the crowds entertained with their unique sense of humour every night in between acts.
They also worked tirelessly in very hot weather with some amazing costume changes..
You can check out the photos of their acts on the stage below.
The excitement mounted in Sitges during Pride as the Gay Village in the promenade took shape with the help of many volunteers.
The Village was the life and soul of the Pride with more than 60,000 visitors passing through Sitges on Saturday and Sunday evening.
With bars, a huge music stage and an amazing line-up of acts, it was the perfect backdrop for Sitges pride by the Mediterranean Sea.

Hello everyone from Gay Pride Sitges… after a weekend of amazing work, fun and partying, its all about to end tonight with the Closing Party at the Gay Beach Party at L’Atlantida!
We are still waiting on official numbers, but no matter where you go or who you listen to, it was amazing, packed solid and a runaway success! To all those who said it would never happen… well.. thanks for the compliments over the past few days… and that is about as political as we get on Gay Sitges Guide!
A huge thank you to the Mayors Office, The Tourism Office, The Afgal Board, Afgal President Luis Enriquez, the volunteers and the businesses and people of Sitges who supported the event from the very beginning!
Our own special thanks to Miss Ruby and Lady Diamond whose dedication over Maspalomas and Barcelona Pride along with their spectacular performances at Gay Pride Sitges 2010 was nothing short of breathtaking.
The weather was perfect, the pride parade was amazing.. words simply can not describe the feeling in Sitges at the moment. As Lady Diamond said to a packed Paseo in Sitges.. Its like Christmas, Carnival and Fiesta Mayor all rolled into one!
And if you hear anyone telling you otherwise, they were either in the wrong town or the wrong mood..because the you would have to be crazy not to have enjoyed yourself in a FULL Sitges this Pride, as these photos prove.
Speaking of Photos, we had 2 photographers specially commissioned to cover the event as we did have our own float which made it difficult to give everyone coverage, so bear with us as we upload more than 4,000 photos of the event. Gay Pride Sitges also had an additional 6 photographers, plus the official press core, 5 television stations and a dedicated video team which will post content over the next week!
Finally, a huge thank you to my partner Andy for supporting me personally over the past year’s trials and tribulations to ensure that Pride was a success. I am proud to say that his donation of our company’s time and resources to AFGAL , together with the efforts of Luis Enriquez and the dedicated members of the AFGAL Board played a small part in making a little bit of Sitges History. Good Night and see you in Sitges for Pride 2011 – Dates coming Very Very soon! (Photo Galleries of all floats and events to follow on Wednesday).
Sitges very first Pride was launched formally on Friday the 9th of July at the hotel Calipolis.
Members of the press mingled with TV crews, local personalities, members of the council and tourism offices as well as AFGAL board members and volunteers.
With more than 12 months advance preparations, meetings and reviews, it was great to finally see the Pride festivities begin with the launch and the planned 5 days of events, parties and festivities.
Gay Pride Sitges aims to set a new benchmark for tolerance and tourism, working with the town to promote the ideals of Pride together with the fun and celebratory atmosphere for which Sitges is renowned.
Here is our first official Pride Photo.. and the event doesn’t kick off until 5pm this evening… But it appears that won’t stop Sitges from Partying on the night before any official celebration.
The town was full of people from around the world looking to have a great night out. “Its like the middle of August” one bar owner told us. And that is backed-up by the latest figures from the tourism office as reported by National Newspaper La Vanguardia.
Remember Tonight.. its the official Launch Party with Abba the Show (Amazing, even if you are not a big Abba Fan)..followed by a spectacular fireworks display. Then off to D E C A D A N S E .. the “Party in the Park” with outdoor foam party, cruising area and much, much more..
More photos will be online tomorrow.. for now.. happy First Sitges Pride and Good Night!
