The third gay pride festival will parade through the streets of Truro in a riot of colour and music on Saturday.

The parade this year has a circus theme so expect funny wigs, big shoes and fancy face paints.

The parade will start on Lemon Quay at 11am and work it's way through the city to Victoria Gardens for a “Picnic in the Park”.

At 7pm there will be the Pride party on Lemon Quay and among the performers will be reality TV celebrity and former Steps band member Lisa Scott-Lee.
