Pride in the Park today at Cd'A City Park

PFLAG Coeur d’Alene will be hosting the second Pride in the Park today from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at City Park.

Pride in the Park is a free picnic celebrating diversity within the community and will take place at the picnic shelter in the park near the intersection of Northwest Boulevard and Mullan Avenue.

Juli Stratton, PFLAG Coeur d’Alene board member and event chair, said “Pride in the Park is an event that focuses on unifying our community by celebrating our diversity. We welcome all who believe in moving equality forward to join us in this celebration.”

There will be food, entertainment, a children’s area and community resource tables. Food choices include hot dogs, barbecue and dessert, and the children’s area will feature face painting, games, coloring and more. There will also be performances by local musicians, with Echo Elysium opening at 10 a.m. and Kathy Colton concluding the event.

PFLAG is an organization made up of LGBT people, their families and their friends. Their goal is to build a stronger and safer community through support, education and advocacy.
