Sioux City Pride Alliance starts celebrating Pride Month
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — Rain didn't dampen spirits for the start of Pride Week in Sioux City.
We took a live look at the Pride Parade, which started at 6:00 p.m. On Historic Fourth Street, at 4th and Iowa streets. The parade ended at 4th and Nebraska streets.
This is the 4th year the Siouxland Pride Alliance has organized the event. However, this year's pride parade on Historic 4th Street drew just 12 entries.
The parade was the 1st of multiple free, family-friendly events to celebrate Pride Month.
Other Pride events that the alliance is holding include the Sioux City Pride Festival on Saturday, June 7, an interfaith pride service on Sunday, June 8, and a Pride Prom on Friday, June 13.
