Mayor of Penzance opens Penzance Pride calling for a ‘Hate Free’ town

Published: 12th June 2025 in category: Events, Penzance

The streets were filled with colour on Saturday 31 May, as a huge rainbow flag was carried through the town and onto the promenade to kick off Penzance Pride.

At the front of the procession, Mayor of Penzance Stephen Reynolds opened the afternoon of entertainment on Penzance promenade by welcoming everyone and saying:

“We were the first town in the country to be Plastic Free. I also want this town to be Hate Free. I wish you a brilliant day today at Penzance Pride and long may it continue to be a fixture in our community. Be who you want to be and enjoy the day. Meur Ras!”
