The 2023 theme is All You Need is Love in a City of Love .
Our events are an opportunity to get together and create a safe and fun environment to share our stories. This will inspire and unite us in our joint life experiences, says Eric Butter, President, and Founder of Mr Gay World.
We also come together to create a platform to celebrate the fact that we all have an important role to play in the community. We can all exert influence on justice, acceptance, and tolerance. In doing so, we can make our world a better and more colourful place, continues Butter.

Vivian is best known as a singer and muse for the international dance music brand, Hedkandi.
She is sponsored by the UK's first LGBTQ alcohol spirits and clothing brand, Molly & Tommy, which is supporting the release of her Euro Pride Anthem, Colours of Love.
The Grand Finale is directed by Weslee Lauder and scripted by Wim Vorster, with staging, lighting, sound, and AV designed by Kosie Smit and supplied by Pineapple Productions.

To the City of Cape Town, we extend a great THANK YOU' for being our host city again, says Butter. And as no such event can be mounted without the assistance of sponsors, to each and all our sponsors from small to large and from the whole community thank you' very much for supporting and assisting us.
Pride Wealth expressed its excitement to partner with Mr Gay World 2023. A lot of work goes into an event like this, and we challenge other corporate companies to embrace the LGBTQIA community and join us in celebration, especially as June is International Pride Month, says Frik van Heerden, Pride Wealth Founder and CEO.
