The Pride Buffalo Parade
The big day is Sunday, June 7th, 2009 as the
Pride Buffalo 2009 parade unfolds with one exciting event after
another. The line up location for the Parade HAS BEEN CHANGED. It will begin at 11 a.m.
but now takes place in the back parking lot of the Belmont Shelter Corporation.
It is located at 1195 Main Street @ Dodge.
Kleinhans informed us approximately 10 days ago that we could not use
their parking lots anymore. We worked quickly to secure the new spot-
sounds easy, we promise it wasn't.
THANK YOU BELMONT SHELTER CORP.
The parade will step off promptly at 1 p.m. The parade will proceed
out of the parking lot, cross over Main St., head West on Summer St.,
then continue north on Elmwood Ave. to Bidwell
Park. Over 40 groups, organizations, floats and many others
will be marching!
We will be having a float competition-
1st, 2nd and 3rd places for Best Float as well as
Largest Walking Contingent!!
After the parade, Bidwell Park comes to life with a complete
line up of events, entertainment and so much more! Enjoy the
parade, stroll through the Marketplace, take in the incredible
international, national and local entertainment, then dance the
day away at the cocktail pavilion area.
Thank you!
We would like to thank all our sponsors!
Without your generous contributions, these events would not be
possible!
