Johannesburg Pride is the longest running pride event on the continent. It is also one of the biggest pride parades in South Africa, seeing thousands of visitors each year. Over the last three decades, Johannesburg Pride has advocated for inclusion of all African LGBTQ+ identities. That's why this year, Johannesburg Pride is all about celebrating The Pride of Africa. Debuting a new flag, which is inspired by the flags of all 54 countries in Africa, Pride makes a bold new statement: there are no borders here - Pride is proudly African, and authentically you.
All are welcome to attend Johannesburg Pride. The march is free of charge, so you can spend that extra cash on putting together your most 'authentically you' outfit ensemble. Each year, thousands gather to march through the streets of Johannesburg in a stand for self-acceptance and legal rights. So, come and join in on the revelry this October, because if you don't celebrate your pride, no one else will.
Johannesburg Pride 2019 is also set to light up the Maboneng Precinct with a number of awesome after party events. Celebrating art, life and queerdom, the Jozi Maboneng Pride After Party is a must-attend.
