Unity Community and Freeman Street Market collaborate in the annual inclusive event
An uplifting community event has been marked in the heart of Grimsby with the annual Pride celebration.
Freeman Street Market and Unity Community join together for the colourful family occasion. It brings a feast of fun and rainbows to the market, with activities for kids, stalls and information and entertainment, including stilt walkers, tribute singers, dancing and the chance for children to help create a community artwork.
The event today (Saturday, July 13) included a Pride March, with plenty of sparkles and rainbows in evidence, a bright antidote to the damp weather conditions. Inside and in the dry, there were lots of stalls supporting Pride to check out and arts and crafts to try out.
The community art piece, titled Lifted by Unity, Inspired by Diversity, was helped along with children’s brushwork, and there was street food and a bar to keep everyone fed and refreshed. Face painting and glitter tattoos, craft and gift stalls, and the Mothership DJs all helped to make it a Pride to remember.
Grimsby Live’s Donna Clifford was there to capture some of the brilliance of the occasion, as you can see from the pictures below.
