Pride Cymru 2023, The Parade Through the Street
File: 2023006-0506
St Mary Street, Cardiff (Caerdydd), Wales (Cymru), United Kingdom, on Saturday 17th of June 2023.
About the photograph.
This photo was taken between Hodge House and Cardiff Market (Marchnad Caerdydd) on St Mary Street.
This part of the area is not very far from the starting line (in the far background of the photo), because I often go back and forth along the parade looking for any interesting shots.
I took the photo here, to showcase what the route looks like, it was lined on both sides by people who came to watch the parade.
Notice the person wearing the T-shirt with the words HEDDLU POLICE on the back, this person is one of the many police officers taking part in the parade.
The parade would take approximately an hour to complete the one-mile course, but it took me about two hours, plus sunburn.
About the event.
Pride Cymru was previously called Cardiff Mardi Gras when it was formed in September 1999. It held annual festival in Bute Park. It became a registered charity in 2010, and starting from 2012, they held a parade through the city centre.
In 2014, Cardiff Mardi Gras was renamed to Pride Cymru, and had operated under the new name ever since the change of name.
Pride Cymru is in reality a weekend event, often called Pride Cymru Big Weekend, and attracts up to 50,000 people over the three days, with Saturdays having the parade through the city centre.
The route for the parade is approximately about more or less one mile in length, and would take anyone approximately up to an hour to complete the route.
Because I was doing photojournalism, trying to find interesting shots, therefore I often sometimes walk back and forth, up and down the parade, so it would take me about a couple of hours to do the photo-shoot.
That day was a very hot and strong sunny day, and I some sunburn.
