PERTH city councillors granted the Pride Parade $45,000 for this year’s festival.

Pride faced insolvency three times in the past 10 years, but management’s completed a review to tighten things up.

Last year’s daytime parade was a bit of a quiet affair, with the streets only sparsely populated, but this year they’re heading back to the night.

They’ve also switched from event managers JumpClimb (who handle the Beaufort Street Festival) to Event Agency, and are in talks with Fringe World to look at collaborating.
