National Coming Out Day is celebrated on October 11th. First celebrated in 1988 it’s an annual celebration and day of awareness for those “coming out of the closet.”
Wichita Pride has a full weekend of events planned to celebrate being out and proud!
Saturday we will have our annual Unity March and Family Picnic. Starting at 11:30am at City Hall (corner of Main and Central) we will have local leaders speak before beginning our Unity March. The Unity March is without sponsors, floats, and what you might expect from a Parade. We will march down Central until we turn on Nims st and end at Riverside park where we will have our Family Picnic. Food, friends, face painters, games, activities, community, and more!
Then Sunday we partner with RedCrossKSOK for the Pride in Every Drop blood drive. At the Red Cross office (707 N Main) we will be in the auditorium from Noon till 6pm giving blood. A way for us to give back to the community there will be drag, photo booths, t shirts, stickers, snacks, and more community as we celebrate Coming Out Day by giving.
It’s a full weekend and plenty of opportunities to celebrate and participate!! We can’t wait to see you there.
