Tomorrow! Yes, Saturday is but one short day away!

Saturday 29th August sees the new and improved Manchester Pride Parade hit the streets of Manchester city centre.

And we'll be there, showing our love and unwaivering support for all, and hatred for none.

Pride is a party, pride is a protest.
Trans rights are human rights.
Everyone is valid, and perfect, and beautiful, just the way they are.

Now get ready to crank it like your pride depends on it. See what we did there, crank... It's a joke we like to pedal around here...
