Anyone planning on going to the NC Pride Parade & Festival next weekend?
DURHAM, NC -- The annual North Carolina Gay Pride Parade will take place on Sept. 30, 2006 at Duke University East Campus. Once again, organizers expect to draw thousands from North Carolina and beyond, calling the NC PrideFest weekend " the biggest feel good event of the year."
"PrideFest in the Durham-Raleigh area is known for being amazingly upbeat and positive," says Keith Hayes, spokesperson for the Pride Committee of North Carolina. "We've never had a protest. The straight community steps way out in support. So the parade in Durham is a flawless celebration, and those good vibes turn the nighttime activities in Raleigh and elsewhere into the biggest and brightest NC party of the year."
In 2005, an estimated 10,000 people from across North Carolina, across the Southeast and as far away of Ohio, New York and California attended PrideFest activities. This year's PrideFest weekend activities and attendance numbers are expected to match or exceed those of 2005.
