[We will NOT meet in the park on Sunday, 6/3/2012. See you at the parade on the SATURDAY before!]

The 22nd Annual Honolulu Pride Parade starts at 10:00 AM from Magic Island Saturday, June 2, 2012.

Parade check-in begins at 7:30 AM - all units need to be in place by 9:30 AM as the Pride Parade will start right at 10 AM.

The parade goes down Ala Moana Blvd to Kalakaua Ave.

The parade then heads down Kalakaua Ave to Kapiolani Park.

Kapiolani Park is where the FREE Pride Celebration will take place around the bandstand from 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM.

Here there will be LIVE entertainment, local and national LGBT organization, keiki area, local crafters and food vendors.

The Pride does not end there because after that HPFF will be sponsoring a PRIDE Dance Party at McCoy Pavilion.

{COLAGE O'ahu} Meet after the Pride Parade this Saturday, 6/4

NOTE!!! We will not gather this Sunday as usual. Instead, Paul Gracie (728-3140) and his family are hosting our families at a picnic immediately AFTER the Parade. Look for the COLAGE O'ahu banner adjacent to the Equality Hawaii booth. If you get lost, call Paul at 728-3140 and look for the Equality hawaii booth for directions. I am not sure If I will be able to attend, as I am recovering from a knee injury and complications.

As for the Parade itself, go to http://honoluluprideparade.org for details. Meet at Magic Island--Kapiolani Park and look for the PFLAG O'ahu trolley. Try to get there well before the 10 AM starting time. The COLAGE O'ahu banner will be there and you are welcome to walk with the banner and use the trolley as base for your kids and picnic stuff.

Hi Folks,

Look for us under (or next to) our big yellow beach umbrella with rainbow polka dots.

 

Plase remember to bring your swimming equipment and sunblock.

 

Aloha,

 

Paul

Kailua's Independence Day Parade Staging Info 7/5/2010

[COLAGE Families are invited to walk with PFLAG O'ahu!]

Aloha all,

Here is the info for the Kailua Independence Day Parade. Map and vital info are HERE!

Our exact line-up location is Uilama St. (See map in the attached pdf file) PFLAG is Unit #32 out of 103 units. Carlisle for Mayor is in front of us and the Knights of Columbus are right behind us.

The parade route (Kainalu Dr.) will be shut down at 9:00 AM and we need everyone in place by 9:30 AM.

There is limited parking available at Kailua Intermediate School (end of the parade) and along the side streets. There will be a shuttle running from 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM but NO PETS are allowed on the shuttle. (See the rules in the pdf file for more info) There will be NO SHUTTLE service after the parade.

The parade starts at 10 AM.

We will have water.

Human Rights Campaign and Pride Alliance Hawaii will be bringing candy but feel free to bring more - everyone loves candy! This will be our 10th Year marching in the parade and we very rarely reach the end of the parade with candy for the kids and big kids. Yes there is a lot of eye candy along the parade route for everyone.

Do not forget sunscreen because this parade does get hot and sunny.

Since we are so close to the front of the parade you can march with all of us then at the last intersection (Kuulei Road) peel off and go back and walk with your favorite candidate. They will ALL be there.

Please forward or repost this information. Remember, the staging map and vital info are HERE!

Mahalo!
