Prague Pride festival of LGBT culture gets underway

The annual Prague Pride Festival celebrating sexual minorities gets underway on Monday with a concert on Střelecký Island. The festival, which is in its fifth year, will see more than 120 events, including debates, film screenings and exhibitions, and will culminate with a parade through the city on Saturday. This year's theme of Prague Pride is ‘We all have a rainbow inside’ and the organisers are hoping to attract not only the LGBT community but also a broader public. Last year, the festival attracted more than 60,000 people throughout the week and over 15,000 people joined the parade.
