The story of Ely’s Pride: From humble beginnings to Cambridge’s biggest pride celebration
Ely’s Pride, Cambridge’s annual pride celebration, attracts more participants every year and becomes an increasingly significant event for the local LGBTQ community and its supporters. In previous years the festival has also featured a vibrant atmosphere and varied programme, but the size of the event has gradually increased to reflect the growing acceptance and support for LGBTQ rights.
In the first year of the festival, when Ely’s Pride was just getting started, the event attracted only a few hundred people. Despite its modest scale, it already stood out for its warm and friendly atmosphere, with several stalls and small performances. The organizers were enthusiastic about creating a space where everyone could feel accepted and heard.
In subsequent years, the number of participants began to grow. The festival has expanded with new attractions, such as more stalls offering a variety of goods and food, and a richer entertainment program. Important elements of the event included parades, theatrical performances and musical performances by local artists. Every year, the organizers sought to improve and diversify the program to make the holiday more interesting and accessible to everyone.
Last year’s celebration already attracted more than 4,000 participants and was a significant step forward. It included performances by famous artists, a wide variety of activities and events for the whole family. Despite the increase in scale, the atmosphere remained as warm and inclusive as in the early years.
As such, Ely’s Pride in Cambridge has become an important symbol of growth and acceptance of LGBTQ rights over the years. Each year the festival attracts more and more participants, strengthening its position as one of the key events in the pride calendar.
