OKC Pride understands the importance of June being the designated month for Pride. We took this into consideration. The temperatures are simply too dangerous in June for Pride goers, Pride staff, and Pride event volunteers. OKC Pride will join many other cities in celebrating Pride in a different month. This will give Pride goers opportunities to visit other cities in June; including Tulsa. OKC Pride plans to celebrate the Stonewall Riots in June, but in a different way.
So what are the dates, and where?In commemoration of our 25th year celebrating Pride in Oklahoma City, we will be having a Pride Week instead of a weekend. The official dates are May 18-27. The festival will be on May 19th. The parade will be the afternoon of May 20th. May 21-25 we will have various community events, TBA. May 26-27 will be the Great Plains Rodea presented by O.G.R.A.
Are we really building a health center?Yes. Because of the success in 2011, we were able to secure a partnership with one of Oklahoma's finest healthcare organizations. While we have a long way to go, plans are in the works!
