Additionally the line up culminates in an evening concert LIVE4PRIDE at Middlesbrough Town Hall finalised showcase some fantastic local live talent alongside camp cabaret classics. With a headlining from The X Factors Jade Ellis, Who wowed the show with her edgy urban soulful tones.
Danielle Gibson, Chair of Middlesbrough Community Pride, says: “Our plan to hold these events, as a Festival, celebrating our LGBT community, their families and friends and promoting inclusion, equality and diversity, are now coming to fruition. With the support of our sponsors, Teesside University, Middlesbrough Council, Middlesbrough College, Teesside Philanthropic foundation, Fabrick Housing and Cleveland Police.”
Our aim is to attract people locally and regionally encouraging them to stay in and around Middlesbrough. We want to push the Festival into the public domain, generate tourism and support local businesses.
