Stevenage Day 2024: Celebrating pride and community spirit
Stevenage Day, the largest free event in Hertfordshire, is set to return to King George V playing fields on Sunday 9 June, promising to be bigger and better than ever.
With an estimated attendance surpassing 30,000, this year's event will focus on celebrating Pride and the LGBTQ+ community in Stevenage.
Stevenage Day 2024 will feature a dedicated Pride area, complete with a music stage showcasing talented Pride performers. Attendees can look forward to a range of free, family-friendly activities, a main performance area, rides, food court, bars, and the highly anticipated Rock in the Park segment.
One of the highlights of Stevenage Day 2024 is Rock in the Park, which will be supported by The Practice Roomz, promising an electrifying atmosphere with twin stages for music enthusiasts of all ages.
Councillor Myla Arceno, Mayor of Stevenage said:
“It’s great to announce that Stevenage Day is back once again, brimming with lots of entertainment and free activities for everyone to enjoy. It offers groups a great opportunity to get out there and show off the amazing talent we have here in the town. Pencil that date in your diary and tell your friends and family to be prepared for a great day out!”
