Pride Fest Night Parade

This year promises to be the biggest and best Parade Knox Pride Fest has ever seen and Knox Pride cordially invites you to be a part of the celebration! Do you own a business? Are you in a community group? If so, grab a few friends and a banner or, better yet, build a float.

2023 PrideFest Theme is “Celebrate. Pride. Protest.” so this year’s event is more than just a parade, it is a MARCH FOR EQUALITY. With hundreds of anti-LGBTQIA+ bills introduced across the country this year alone, we want to take this moment to remind everyone that we are here, worthy of love and equality, and we’re not going anywhere.

As this is a night parade, we do encourage participants to utilize lights, glow-in-the-dark, etc., but for safety purposes, please refrain from using strobe lighting or high power lasers/laser pointers.

Staging for the parade will take place on Friday, October 6, starting at 4:00pm. Please make sure to car pool, there is limited space for parking and staging. The parade will start promptly at 7:00 pm and detail outlining the parade route and staging areas will be sent to all participants closer to the event.

We will be onsite coordinating the line up, please see one of our awesome volunteers with any questions you may have. 

Please Remember: You can pass items out, but cannot throw anything during the parade. This is a family event, make sure your group conducts itself that way. Please see our Terms and Conditions page for more details. We will send out an informative email later in September with with final details about the parade.
