Formerly known as the Pride Arts Festival, this summer festival celebrates the diversity of arts and culture, focusing on events of interest to the gay and lesbian community. It began as an offshoot of the 1995 Lesbian and Gay Pride festival (aka Lesbian and Gay Mardi Gras) and is now a major cultural festival, featuring everything from a lesbian beauty contest to exhibitions featuring major artists such as Lola Flash, Maggi Hambling and Lucien Freud.
