Once again, downtown Ashland hosts space for diversity and inclusiveness in the 2018 Parade! We will create a colorful atmosphere of fun, and more importantly, celebrate our LGBTQ+ community in Southern Oregon! This year’s theme is “Rising with Pride.”
This will be a family-friendly, public event taking place in downtown Ashland on Saturday, October 13, 2018. We estimate between 1000 -2500 people will be in attendance at the Parade and the festival.
We are invited to join Jamie McLeod-Skinner, this year’s Parade Grand Marshall!
Jamie will have her Jeep and Teardrop trailer in tow. Those who would like to march in the parade with Team Jamie are requested to meet on Union Street between Siskiyou Boulevard and Fairview Street between 10:00 and 10:30 a.m.
The parade begins at 11:00 a.m. and marches through downtown Ashland and ends in the Lithia Park Bandshell.
Booths will be open on Saturday, October 13th, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in Lithia Park near the Bandshell on Winburn Way.
Entertainment and speakers will be at the Bandshell from 11:30 a.m. until 2:30 pm including our MC Natasha Blackwell, Samba Like it Hot, and
Our Grand Marshall, Jamie McLeod Skinner!
