The hugely popular South Tyneside Summer Parade returns on Saturday 6 July as part of a weekend of celebrations!
Be amazed by colourful costumes, dances and music as the parade makes its way from South Shields Town Hall to Bents Park at the seafront.
The theme of this year's Summer Parade is 'Celebration' which will celebrate and promote connectivity, inclusivity and diversity in all its forms. The parade is delivered in partnership with The Cultural Spring and Out North East, a new inclusive LGBTQ+ events charity.
The parade will begin at 1pm from South Shields Town Hall with fabulous local groups, performers and entertainers making their way to Bents Park where you can enjoy lots more entertainment all afternoon!
Bents Park entertainment will include:
🐦A range of characters roaming the park including Zelva the giant tortoise, Pongo the bird, a giant lobster, starfish and more!
🎧A silent disco by Hed Fone Party powered by electric cycles
🎨Facepainting and glitter art by Rainbow Jelly Face Painters
🛍️ Craft stalls
🎶 Dream Engine with their show Arco - an aerial performance under a free-standing, air filled arch, 12m high
🎤Music from King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys
We look forward to welcoming local community groups, schools and voluntary organisations in South Tyneside to be part of the celebrations.
So come along and experience what is always a great, family-friendly afternoon in South Shields!
Please note filming and photography will take place at the event by South Tyneside Council, partners and the media. This could be used to showcase this year's events in various media channels, or be used to promote future events.
