Johannesburg Pride will host its annual Pride event on Saturday 29 October to celebrate the LGBTIQA+ community in South Africa and around the continent. This will be the 33rd edition of Africa’s first and original Pride event which first took place back in October 1990.
This year’s Pride is a 12 hour extravaganza that’s expected to be bigger and better, returning as an in-person event after a two-year hiatus due to global restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak that led to the suspension of many events.
Johannesburg Pride 2022 will be back at Rivonia Road in Sandton, outside the Sandon City glass dome, starting at 10:00 and running till 22:00.
A section of the road will be blocked off from traffic for the day. The march/parade leaves from the Pride Village at 14:00 and will take a circular route, returning back to the venue.
