Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2nd Annual BG Pride Parade has been postponed until June 2021.

We know— we’re upset too.

Volunteer Committees

Our organization is not a one-person team. We could have never accomplished this first year alone— and we are always looking for more help. If you are interested in joining one of our new volunteer committees or have another way you would like to assist us, please let us know.

Parade Participants

Interested in your business or organization participating in the pride parade next year? Applications for parade entries will open on January 1, 2020. In the mean time, you can always email us with any questions you have. We’re happy to help!

Parade Sponsors

Interested in your business or organization sponsoring in the pride parade next year? We’re always looking to collaborate with both local and national organizations for events year-round. Contact us for more information.
