Hundreds took advantage of the sunny day to come out for the event, which was held under the theme of “together again,” and to celebrate the city’s LGBTIQ+ community.
Starting at noon, participants dressed in colourful attire and waving rainbow flags marched from Alfred Street in De Waterkant to Green Point Track.
The procession was led by Mr Cape Town Pride 2022 Ashwin Williams and Miss Cape Town Pride 2022 Laylah Zokufa. Some, however, chose to motorbike and rollerblade the route instead.
DA Federal Leader John Steenhuisen and Helen Zille, Chairperson of DA Federal Council, were among those who marched alongside the crowd.
