Thousands celebrate Joburg’s Pride
SANDTON - People flocked to Mushroom Farm Park in their droves for the 25th annual Johannesburg Pride event.
This was the second time the event was held in Sandton with last year’s having taken place at Sandton Sports Club.
The event kicked off with a several thousand people-strong parade that moved along Rivonia Road, West Street, and Maude Street, before returning to the park.
The crowds spent the rest of the day enjoying a small flea market, food, drink, and a DJ line-up that included Karma, DJ Sean E, Van Loca, Blake Reilly, The Duchess, and Ian Credible.
Billed to run into the night, the event was unfortunately cut short by a thunderstorm.
Johannesburg Pride chairperson Kaye Ally was very pleased with the committee’s second event.
“We got off to a slow start in the morning, but the event had really got going by the afternoon, as more and more people arrived through the day,” she said.
