Be OUT and PROUD as you join us for A Night OUT on the Square.

Wear your pride gear, bring your signs, and visit the businesses and organizations that support PRIDENTON.

Instead of sitting on the square and watching floats pass, local businesses ARE THE FLOATS! We will also have local organizations and vendors on the Courthouse Lawn.

After checking in and snagging the vendor map, we will kick off with a welcome rally and community march around the courthouse lawn.

Then we will all parade around to local businesses and organizations on the lawn and around the Downtown Square. Pick up giveaways and swag along the way and vote for the best storefront “float” AND the best lawn “float”! We will announce the winners on Saturday June 24th at the "Big Pride in Lil’ d" Dance Party, at Rubber Gloves.
