Boston gears up for its first Pride festival

Boston is set to host its first ever Pride event later this month, promising a colourful, family-friendly celebration at Central Park on Saturday, July 26. The festival will feature over 20 live acts on the main stage, hosted by West End performer Matty and drag artist Ken Lambert. Visitors can expect performances from names such as Pete Martine, Jenna G, BOS Musical Theatre Society, DJ FRQC, The Biz Interactive Dance Party, Sam Beeson, Sue De Crème, Boston Jive, The Blackfriars Theatre, Danny Stephenson, Joanna Bang, The College Trio, Angie Fisher, Carolyn Clair and Infinity.

Entertainment will kick off at 11:30am with a DJ set and continue until 8pm. Away from the music, there will be a beach area, craft tent, face painting and glitter bar, circus skills workshops and a bubble experience for families to enjoy. Food options will include loaded fries, donuts, hotdogs, burgers and ice cream, alongside barista coffee and mocktails. No alcohol will be permitted at the event.

Organisations such as Bloodbikes, Citizens Advice, and Lincs Recovery Partnership will also be present to provide resources and support. Entry is free and no tickets are required, with funding provided by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and Boston Town Area Committee.
