Stirling Pride has unveiled the program for this year’s event on Saturday, September 20, with a Pride March kicking off the festivities.
The march is scheduled to set-off from King’s Park at 11:30am and follow a short route ending at the King Street Main Stage.
The event has put a major focus on accessibility this year with every event in the program labeled with accessibility logos detailed at the beginning of the program.
Main stage performances will run from 12:30pm, with the final performance set to begin at 4pm.
The event has added a second stage this year inside the Albert Halls which will house performances from 12pm until 5pm.
The Albert Halls will also house a Pride Market with over local 40 vendors in attendance.
The charity LGBT Youth Scotland will be hosting a Pride Pit Stop at Creative Stirling from 12pm to 4pm.
