This year’s 15th annual Pink Loerie Parade was probably the festival’s most international procession to date, thanks to the 21 international Mr Gay World delegates who took part.
They joined hundreds of others to march through Knysna’s main street to show support for the LGBTI community, as locals and tourists cheered them on.
The parade was the climax of the town’s week-long Globeflight Pink Loerie Mardi Gras & Arts Festival.
Here’s our gallery of highlights of the gloriously pink celebration.
