Join The Aloha Bears as we participate in this year's Honolulu Pride Parade and the theme is "Rooted in Pride: Homecoming". Our home-town Queen Sasha Colby will be Grand Marshall. She will also be performing on stage at the festival.The parade will kick off from Magic Island Beach Park once again this year. Unfortunately we don't have a trolley like we did last year as they completely sold out early. So most of us will be walking, but you're allowed to bring a bike, motorized scooter, wagon, skates, skateboard, anything with wheels. If you have a convertible and would like to participate, please reach out to us as we'd have to make arrangements.
Here is some information from the parade committee on some key times and rules we need to adhere to. Please arrive as early as you can before the roads close.
We won’t know our placement in the parade until that day so, if you’re attending, email Jack at [email protected] and he will provide his contact information.
