In Pictures: 2023 Cape Town Pride Parade

The annual Cape Town Pride Parade took to the streets of the Mother City to celebrate the LGBTIQ+ community and the freedom to be our authentic selves.

Under the 2023 theme of “Know Your Truth”, the parade kicked off in the De Waterkant district of Green Point on the 4th of March after a three-week-long Pride festival.

The procession was formally launched by Mr and Miss Cape Town Pride along with the unveiling of the Rainbow Crossing that was painted by the city last year.

For the first time since Covid-19 restrictions were implemented and then lifted, the parade once again included floats and vehicles in addition to marchers, bikers from Ride with Pride and skateboarders and roller-skaters.

There was also representation by several of the city’s LGBTIQ venues and organisations as well as political parties in the procession.

The exuberant marchers wound their way to the Green Point A Track for the post-parade mardi gras.

Ziyanda Yono was there to take the below images of the 2023 Cape Town Pride Parade.
