Festival
Our stalls open from 11:00 until 15:30 in the main square. Come along and get your sparkles and your rainbows on before the parade, and get your whistles and flags so that we can be seen and heard! We also have a variety of information stalls run by LGBTQI+ people and our allies where you can get information about our community, where to get help if you're struggling and the fun networks and clubs you can join.
Our speakers, Scott Cuthbertson from the Equality Network and Lorna Ward from the Scottish Bi+ Network, will be on the main stage at 12:30.
Then it's time for our main entertainment, which will run from 14:00 until 18:00 and will feature:
