York Pride have revealed that ‘Angels of the North’ — a drag queen act starring the Top Three and Winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 5 — will be headlining the York Pride Festival when it returns on June the 1st 2024.
The ‘Angels of the North’ group —comprised of superstars Michael Marouli, Tomara Thomas, and 2023 Ru Paul winner Ginger Johnson— will wrap up the York Pride March in style with a special headline performance on the main stage at York Racecourse.
Since the first march more than a decade ago, York Pride annually celebrates the city’s LGBT+ community with a parade and festival, welcoming more than 10,000 people in the process. Despite being delivered by a committee of just 20 volunteers, York Pride is in the running for Event of the Year at the Visit York Tourism awards next month and is the largest one-day free festival in the York events calendar!
York Pride Chair Greg Stephenson said, “We are beyond excited to have not one, but three northern queens on the main stage at Pride this year. Last year Clare Richards from Steps was a huge hit with attendees at York Pride, so we knew we had to go big for 2024! York Pride has become a staple in many people’s calendar and every year the committee work hard to ensure that it is a day to celebrate diversity and enjoyed by everyone attending the festival.”
York Pride will be held on Saturday 1st June 2024 at York Racecourse. The popular pride parade to the Knavesmire will also be returning for 2024, leaving York Minster at noon.
