Cape Town & Western Cape Key Loerie Mardi Gras and Arts Festival Pink Points

This year marks the 3rd year that Wesgro will be a supporter of the Pink Loerie Mardi Gras and Arts Festival.

“The return of the Festival and the support from the Knysna community will ensure that it continues on with its efforts to promote and offer support to the greater LGBTQ+ community through the Pink Loerie Foundation. This, by providing education, visibility and awareness programmes that in turn boost tourism and create an ethos of care within the community and beyond.”

“Pride is not only a space where people in the LGBTQ+ community can come together and proudly be who they are, it’s also a space where straight and cisgender allies come together in support of the LGBTQ+ community and equality.” Therefore, it’s important that we continue supporting initiatives that promote inclusive social awareness.

It is imperative that our communities continue to work together towards a greater future for our province and all her people. The Western Cape Province is truly the ‘Cape of Great Events’, and we are honoured to once again be a part of promoting pride-consciousness and welcome the diversity the festival brings to the province.

The Pink Loerie Mardi Gras and Arts Festival has established itself as Africa’s biggest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) event.
