Sioux City Pride Alliance starts celebrating Pride Month

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.
