The highly successful flea market, wine and beer garden and VIP fund-raising dinner will be there to rediscover once again.
Knysna and its visitors will also be able to once again cheer the word-class act of Wigstock Chapter 2 as this is planned to coincide with
Pink Loerie 2016. The confirmed date of the festivities is the last week of April with the VIP Dinner and Fundraising Auction on Friday, 29 April and the Sweet Sixteen party hosted by Betty Bangles on Saturday, 30 April.
The organisers are also pleased to welcome newcomers to the
Pink Loerie - the Bear Gay Culture who will present the
Bear Colony Festival 2016.
Wikipedia summarises the bear culture as a segment of the male bisexual and gay culture as a larger, hairier man who projects masculinity. Bears are one of many groupings in the LGBT community with their own events, codes and a culture-specific identity. The term bear was popularised by Richard Bulger, who was the co-founder of
Bear Magazine in 1987.
The 2016
Pink Loerie Mardi Gras & Arts Festival™ takes place from Wednesday, 27 April to Sunday, 1 May.
