The Return of Pride in the Park
The flowers are blooming, and the grass is alive with its green hues. That can only mean one thing – Pride in the Park Family Festival is back in Shreveport. This free spring activity, a favorite among locals, is set to bring joy and celebration to the community once again.
Hosted by PACE
People Acting for Change and Equality (PACE) announced the return of the festival in a press release, inviting everyone to join in the celebration of the lives of Northwest Louisiana’s LGBTQ+ community. The event aims to bring the community together in a spirit of pride and unity.
What to Expect
This year’s Pride in the Park will feature food trucks, community booths, vendors, entertainment, and much more. Families are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets, and well-behaved pets on leashes to enjoy the festivities.
A Call for Solidarity
PACE emphasized the importance of standing together to combat discrimination and support the LGBTQ+ community. The organization stated, “Too many LGBTQ+ people still face daily senseless discrimination yet strive, just like everyone else, to lead meaningful productive lives. Now that is something to be proud of! So, we invite all who will celebrate the actual lives of the LGBTQ+ community to join us in April at Pride in the Park.”
