Crawley's first ever Pride event will take place this weekend (28th & 29th) at Goffs Park - with the council as partner.
It's shown its support by painting two big rainbow flags at the event site. They've painted a large Progress Pride flag on the main path in Goffs Park and a bench in the colours of the rainbow flag.
The temporary artwork will last for around four weeks - there's also a rainbow flag flying outside the town hall.
The event will run from 11am until 9.30pm on both days.
Saturday is the festival day with drag acts, DJs, music and entertainment.
Sunday is the community day, a more family-orientated event with local acts and music, plus a singalong film on the big screen in the evening.
A community fair with fairground rides, community stalls and lots of food will be open on both days. This area has free entry.
Councillor Michael Jones, Cabinet member for Public Protection and Community Engagement, said:
"Crawley's first ever Pride event is an important milestone for the town's LGBTQU+ community and I'm delighted that we are supporting it in various ways, including the rainbow artwork. It'll be a great spot for Pride selfies!
"This is a very exciting event for Crawley and I wish the organisers all the best for the weekend."
Vincent Martin, from Crawley LGBTQU+, said:
"We absolutely love the new Pride artwork in Goffs Park!
"We'd like to thank the council and the artists for the great work they have done. It's such a visual asset for our Pride event in sparking conversations and giving LGBTQU+ people visibility."
