Tomorrow begins the two day Gay Pride event in Phoenix. This annual event attracts tens of thousands of people and boasts a parade, party and prime entertainment.
The Phoenix Gay Pride Parade kicks off tomorrow, Saturday 12 April 2008, at 11am. The parade moves north on Third Street between Thomas and Indian School and includes floats, walking contingents and cars who support or represent churches, political organizations, bars, radio stations etc. The parade can be a fun learning experience for parents who wish to expose their children to diversity. The parade is free for all.
The Phoenix Gay Pride Event takes place in the Steele Indian School Park from noon until 9pm on Saturday and Sunday, 12 & 13 April 2008, and includes entertainment such as dancing, drag shows and headliners such as Expose and Sheena Easton. The entry fee is $25 for a weekend pass or (I believe) $15 per day. (This is vague and may require more research if you are interested.)
