The event is back, but the new organizers behind it are marching toward a new goal of making the parade as inclusive as possible.
Roughly 1 million people are expected to fill the streets of Boston Saturday for the city's first pride parade in four years.
It will be the first pride parade since the pandemic, and since the Boston Pride group dissolved following complaints about diversity and inclusion. The new group that is organizing it is called Boston Pride for the People. "We just started by thinking, 'How can we best serve the LGBTQ+ community?' and we're trying to plan an inclusive and really fun pride," said Jo Trigilio, vice-president of Boston Pride for the People.The parade kicks off at 11 a.m. Saturday and will feature close to 10,000 marchers. It starts in Copley Square and ends on the Boston Common.
"There will be glitter, sequins, unicorns, rainbows," Trijilio said."It is just going to be so much fun." The event will also feature two different festivals happening at the same time. The festival for all ages will happen on the Boston Common, and the one that is only for those over 21 will happen on Boston's City Hall Plaza.
