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 10:00 in downtown Omaha. Specific parade route and staging area to be announced. 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.

We may not receive the actual staging map until closer to the event, which we will provide when available.

Getting there:

ORBT: ORBT buses leave every 20 minutes from the Westroads transit center (northwest corner of the parking lot). Recommend catching the 9:08 bus. Prepurchase your tickets here or buy them at the transit center’s kiosk.

Drive: As soon as we know the parade route, we can suggest parking.

• What to bring: Bring sunscreen, water/water bottle and sunglasses. We will have Pride handouts.
• Show your unity: Wear your yellow “Side with Love” t-shirt. Don’t have one? No fear: loaner shirts are available first come first serve: Shirts will be available Sunday, July 11th at 2U for you to grab one to borrow. Accessories (crazy hats, rainbow umbrellas, boas, etc.) add to the festive atmosphere. If you miss getting a shirt, don’t let that stop you from joining us.
