Royal Albert Dock Liverpool will team up with LGBTQIA+ party collective Sonic Yootha for a free outdoor celebration during Liverpool Pride on Saturday 25 July.
Taking place in Anchor Courtyard from 12pm to 4pm, the event will feature an afternoon of disco, queer anthems and high-energy dancefloor favourites.
Invisible Wind Factory will lead production for the party, installing a central DJ booth that will create an immersive 360-degree experience for visitors.
WMNKND and Sonic Yootha’s resident DJs will provide the four-hour soundtrack, while pop-up bars operated by The One O’Clock Gun, Bar Glue and others will serve refreshments throughout the afternoon.
Sonic Yootha drag queen Jackie J will also bring the celebrations to the dock’s inner quay aboard her specially created bicycle sound system, designed by Invisible Wind Factory.
Playing a selection of Pride classics, Jackie J will appear in a colourful costume that organisers say will provide the perfect backdrop for Pride photographs and selfies.
Businesses across Royal Albert Dock will also take part in the celebrations with themed events, special menus and Pride accessories.
Gusto will host a Pride bottomless brunch featuring two courses, 90 minutes of drinks and entertainment from a Lady Gaga tribute act.
Visitors can also call into The Nest to pick up colourful pin badges and accessories to complete their Pride outfits.
The free courtyard party forms part of a wider afternoon of music, performances and activities taking place throughout Royal Albert Dock during Liverpool’s Pride celebrations.
