Dallas Pride parade and festival return to Fair Park
Dallas Pride returns to Fair Park this weekend with an expanded festival and parade this year. Executive director Sherrell Cross joined Good Day to talk about the two-day event and the nonprofit that works to support and celebrate the local LGBTQ+ community.
Dallas Pride, the nonprofit that works to support and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, is hosting a parade and festival this weekend. Admission is free.
"We have so many great sponsors that come, and this year we’re doing something that is really different. We’ve never had an honorary grand marshal, so we have Billy Porter joining us," said Sherrell Cross, executive director of Dallas Pride.
The parade will have 179 participants, possibly including the Dallas Mavericks. It will trail through Fair Park and will include bands, colorful costumes, and more. This is set to start Saturday at 2 p.m.
The festival will have zones set up for guests of all ages. Zones like a family pride zone for children aged 0 to 12. Teen zone for ages 13 to 19, which includes a skating rink job fair and more. Last but not least, a zone where seniors can get health screenings.
