Lord Mayor’s Pageant

6 June 2009
Liverpool City Centre
Be green, be seen, at the all-new Lord Mayor’s Pageant!
Liverpool city centre will be a sea of green on June 6 (12-1pm), as hundreds take to the streets for a vibrant and colourful pageant with a difference. There won’t be a petrol-powered vehicle in sight - everything will be run by foot, solar, battery or pedal power making this the most environmentally friendly Lord Mayor’s Parade ever!

This is a new event, with a new route, and will be a moving celebration of Liverpool’s young people and Year of the Environment. If you are coming down to watch, why not help spread the environmental message by dressing in green!

Taking place the day after World Environment Day (June 5), the pageant focuses on the young people of Liverpool, with youngsters from community groups, schools and other youth organisations invited to spend the day as VIPs on the grandstand.

Deputy Lord Mayor, Councillor Mike Storey CBE said: “This year the city aims to have a truly spectacular event. The Lord Mayor’s Pageant is a great way for people to give to charity, have a great deal of fun and show off Liverpool’s uniquely diverse communities at the same time. We are trying to give the event a much greener emphasis as part of the city’s Year of the Environment. I personally wanted a pageant that would be kind to the environment and engage and stimulate people in a much more creative way.”
