“We had the idea to theme each year’s event around the meaning of a different colour from the Pride flag. You can also expect to see lots of rainbows, the traditional Pride symbol, some 00’s neon, and plenty of bright yellow. The programme for Wigan Pride 22 is still being finalised but promises to include fantastic live music acts with an upbeat 00’s theme, artist interviews, inspirational speeches, and colourful entertainment. “But we also feel like what everyone needs right now is a really good party – so we wanted to help bring some positivity and invite everyone to put any worries behind them for just one day and to celebrate being themselves and being together.” “Pride has a serious message at its heart and we know how important that message of campaigning for equality still is today.
