Croydon Pride was a festiival held in Croydon in June 1993. It included events at:

• the Bird in Hand
• the Hollybush (Crystal Palace)
• PJs (Thornton Heath)
• Streets Bar (Penge)

Buses were laid on to take people to London Pride (the Pride Parade in central London and then the Pride Festival in Brockwell Park).

The Croydon Pride brochure listed seven participating groups:

• the Croydon Pride Organising Group
• CAGS
• CAGY
• Croydon Friend
• the Croydon Lesbian and Gay Monitor
• the Croydon Lesbian Social Support Group
• the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

The following year Croydon Pride was dissolved through lack of support, but the CAGS banner continued to be carried in the Pride Parade.
