Drag queen Tia Kofi will headline Scarborough's second pride event.

Drag queen Tia Kofi, who came to stardom on Ru Paul's Drag Race UK season 1 and recently crowned queen of Ru Paul's Drag Race UK vs The World, will headline Scarborough's second pride event which is taking place on Saturday 21st September.

Tia will be part of the opening proceedings of the parade, as well as performing on the main stage in Scarborough Spa's Grand Hall.

George Wakely, Chair of the Trustee Board for Scarborough Pride said,

"We are so excited to have Tia on board as our headliner for Pride 2024, and we can't wait for her to grace the spa stage with her uniqueness, nerve and talent and we are looking forward to welcoming her to Scarborough".

Scarborough Pride is a Yorkshire-based charity that supports the local LGBTQ+ community. After a huge success in 2023, with over 3,000 people through the doors, Scarborough Pride 2024 will be the charity's second pride event. Scarborough Spa will be transformed into Pride HQ for the day, with entertainment across stages in The Grand Hall and Sun Court, stalls, and food vendors as well as family-friendly entertainment and activities for all.

George adds:

"Scarborough Pride is only made possible and free to the public by the kind support of Business Allies and local sponsors. If you or your business are thinking of getting involved or are wanting to sponsor Pride, you can do so by heading to Scarborough Pride's website www.ScarboroughPride.co.uk and going to either the 'volunteer' or 'Business Allys' section."
