C&B: Another way of Loving, another way of Pride
Culture & Business Pride is a necessary festival that brings sexual diversity closer and accessible to everyone, from an educational and modern perspective, and that rewards the great work carried out by important people of the global LGTBIQ+ community. C&B will celebrate its sixth edition from December 3rd to 8th, 2024, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria with more than fifty activities for all audiences, with free admission and an eye on the international LGTBIQ+ community.
Under the slogan “Another way of Loving, another way of Pride,” Culture & Business Pride offers an alternative to the Pride celebrations, relying on an agenda of activities aimed at all audiences. In this edition, various topics will be addressed to understand the community in a global way, with the festival serving as a meeting and enjoyment point around an entire social movement where exchange will be key for the growth of the LGTBIQ+ platform through its advances in culture, technology, business, science, and art. The event will offer activities for all audiences, always with free access until full capacity is reached and strict compliance with security measures.
This festival deals with advances in LGTBIQ culture and business and is structured in various areas. Each of them has the objective of raising awareness, training, complementing, celebrating and sharing the contributions that the community has been making in different cultural, social and business fields.
Culture & Business Pride is sponsored by the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, Turismo de Gran Canaria, as well as the Tourism department of the Canarian Government, Promotur. All its activities are free, open, accessible and 100% straight friendly.
