West Lothian ready to get Loud and Proud
It’s Pride month and West Lothian is gearing up for its own celebrations.
Locals are looking forward to getting “proud and loud’ and celebrating diversity together.
A day of celebration is planned for Saturday, July 27, at Howden Park Centre from 11am to 5pm.
West Lothian Pride was founded in 2015 by a group of the Glitter Cannons and local LGBTQI+ individuals who recognised the need for a Pride event in their community.
The first event was held in July 2015 at Howden Park Centre in Livingston. It was a huge success and sparked the start of an annual tradition.
In 2016 the event moved to a larger venue, the West Lothian College, and saw even more attendees and support from local businesses and organisations. Each year, the event continues to grow and evolve, with a diverse range of performers, speakers and activities.
Once again this year there will be a parade and march through the town centre, live music and entertainment, information stalls from local LGBTQI+ organizations plus food and drink vendors.
