It's well-known that Cape Town has a large gay community, and it's also well-known that the largest concentration of gay bars, like Backroom Bar, can be found in Green Point. So, I guess it's no surprise that this year's Cape Town Pride festival will open on 2 March at Green Point's Amsterdam Bar.

The Pride festival will move from venue to venue each day from 2 until 11 March and funds raised at the event will be donated to the Pride Shelter Trust, an organisation that helps gay, lesbian, transgender, and bisexual people by providing them with short-term shelter in times of crisis.

If you would like to support the initiative, or if you're simply keen on 10 days of fun, check out the itinerary, grab a friend, and have some fun!
