A new evening concert has been added to this years programme, to benefit Amigo’s Contra el Sida ( Friends against AIDS), which is our local AIDS/HIV charity. It is intended to be an opportunity to remember friends and loved ones we have lost. To this end, if there is anyone you would like remembered at this concert
Amigos Contra el Sida will be selling candles during the course of the evening, which can be placed in a memorial garden, and information from the charity will be available throughout the week.

As in previous years, on the main stage in the Yumbo Centre on Friday evening, we will be presenting an International Drag Show Spectacular, featuring artists from across Europe, as well as a selection of the talent which performs every night of the week on the island.

Gay Pride Parade. 4pm – 6pm
This years parade promises to be the biggest yet in terms of the numbers taking part. The route has been amended to incorporate as many of the main gay venues as we are able. The new route will start at the southern end of the Ave. de Tirajana, close to the Rui Palace Hotel, moving up toward the Yumbo Centre and around it, and moving smoothly into a 2 hour dance session on the Ave. EEUU, at the top of the Yumbo Centre as happened last year.
Gala Concert. 9pm – 11pm
Saturday night will see the finale concert for Pride week, on the main stage in the Yumbo Centre. This will be a spectacle of singing, and dancing, and promises to be a real show presentation, culminating in a spectacular fireworks display to mark the closing of the celebrations for Gay Pride in Maspalomas for 2006.
Sunday 14th May. 2pm – 7pm
Another new addition to the programme for Pride 2006 will be an after pride chill out party at Annexo 2 – one of the nearby commercial centres, which will have access to all the outlets in the centre, access to their pool and to the beach, and a chilled out dance session – a chance to wind down after a busy week! This event will be by ticket again, with pre booking available by the Contact us (http://www.gaypridemaspalomas.com/contact.php?lan=en), at a cost of 5 euros if pre booked, or 7 euros on the door.

This is the bulk of the events which will be taking place during pride week. However, there will also be other events associated with Pride week – there will be an art show running throughout the week, and an Interactive Film show, as well as a DJ on the main stage in the Yumbo on those evenings when there is no show, and street entertainers throughout the Yumbo Centre at various times in the week. Look out for tickets for the Pride raffle while you are here as well – we will be putting the list of prizes on the website in the next few days – and don’t forget that you can pre book your tickets for all the events here. All in all, we think it will be a truly memorable week, and we hope to see you here in the sunshine!
