After a fantastic inaugural event last summer, the second annual Pride Winnipegosis is just around the corner.
Pride Winnipegosis President Cyndie Blythe says the committee was overwhelmed by the support from the community at last year's event.
"I'll tell ya, it was overwhelming and wonderful. We didn't know what to expect, you know, everything protests to nothing. We didn't have protests, and we had way more than nothing."
Blythe says an enthusiastic crowd showed up to celebrate pride last year, and they're excited to see what this year's event has to offer on June 10th.
The second annual Pride Winnipegosis will feature all of the same great events that made it such a hit last year, with the addition of some new awards for floats in the parade, and a Drag Storytime.
"We're giving away prizes! We're going to award the best-motorized entry, the best walking or biking entry, and the rainbow award, which is the best use of rainbow colours."
They're still accepting entries for the parade, as well as vendors for this year's event. You can reach out to Pride Winnipegosis on Facebook, or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by June 1st.
