Dayton PRIDE
“Together As One”
Dayton will celebrate PRIDE this year “in-person” with three days of celebratory fun. We will kick off the celebration on Friday June 4th, with the Affair On The Square at 6 pm. This will feature the live bands of, Colin Richards and Spare Change, Neo American Pioneers, Taylor, and closing out the night, The Rubi Girls. Chairs will be set up in front of the stage so we will all remain socially distanced and masks will be required, but this inconvenience is a small price to pay so we may all be able to celebrate together. On Saturday June 5th beginning at 10 am is the “Reverse Pride Parade.” While we could line people up for a regular parade in lines and columns to allow social distancing, we cannot control the spectators on the sidewalks. So the safest way is to do our “Reverse Pride Parade” again this year. What do that mean? This means that any would be marchers or parade floats, we place them on the sidewalks as a static display, and ask all spectators to decorate their cars as PRIDEFULLY as they wish and simply drive down Second Street from Patterson Street to Main Street at the posted 5 mph speed limit, obeying all traffic signals, and slower pass each display. Our parade people will come out to your vehicles to personally hand any givea- way items directly to you all while wearing masks for everyones safety. Once the driver gets to Main St, they may circle around if they wish or perhaps go find their parking spot for the festival at Courthouse Square! Beginning at Noon to 4 pm is our Annual Dayton PRIDE Festival at Courthouse Square. Again, we will have chairs all in front of the stage so folks will not stand in one huge group to watch the stage but spread out in a socially distanced fashion. Masks will be required all day while on the Square. All food and drink will be relegated to our new Food Court and Beer Garden on Third Street, when you are finished eating and drinking, you may pull your mask up and join us on Courthouse Square for a full day of fun and entertainment until 4 pm. On Sunday June 6th beginning at 9 am is PFLAG’s Annual Running With Pride 5k Run Walk. Registration for the race is still open until May 22nd. Race Day Registration will be available - Sunday 6/6/21 @ 7:30am (No guarantee of t-shirt, participation medal, or goodie bag if you register on the day of the event)
