Matt Taylor-Roberts, Founder and CEO of Proud 2 b Parents, said:
“We know how important it is for LGBT+ families to have spaces where they feel seen, celebrated, and safe. Our community has been asking for the return of a dedicated family festival event for some time, and I’m so proud we’re able to bring Proud Fest to life in such a fantastic venue. We’re passionate about making sure every family has the chance to celebrate Pride together – and we can’t wait to welcome everyone.”
