Do you want to walk in the Pride Parade?

We are looking forward to the Annual Heartland Pride Parade & Festival on Saturday, July 18th. Second Unitarian Church invites you to join in the fun!

Here are some things to know:

  • Parade starts at NEW TIME 9:30 in downtown Omaha. If you are planning to attend the parade, please let Cindy Ramsey know, just so we have an idea of who to expect. It is not a requirement.
  • Our 2U staging site: We finally have our Rally Point! 16th and Cass St. The specific lineup order is still to be determined. Our group will be lining up alongside First Unitarian and YRUU. On the morning of the parade, volunteers in Jeep vehicles will be stationed at each intersection along 16th Street. If you need help finding our spot, don’t hesitate to ask someone in a Jeep!
