MNU is proud to participate in several upcoming Pride events!
The Pride Winnipeg Parade takes place this Sunday, June 2, and we are aiming for a large turnout to go with our new float. For those who would like to participate, we encourage you to bring your friends and family down to the Manitoba Legislature for the parade, which starts at 11 a.m.
There will be a rally at the Manitoba Legislature at 10 a.m., and then the crowd customarily moves to Memorial Park to find their groups.
This year, we will be assembling in Aisle D, Number 89, please look for the MNU flags. The parade route starts at Memorial and York, then heads north on Memorial to Portage Avenue, goes east until Main Street, turns south on Main Street then continues along William Stephenson Way, and ends at the parking lot across from Goldeyes Park.
We are not expecting hot temperatures like in 2023 for this Sunday, but please remember to stay cool and hydrated, and dress for the weather.
MNU is a festival sponsor, and there will be several events during Pride week. More information is available on the Pride website.
Dauphin’s Walk With Pride takes place Saturday, June 1, at noon. Participants are to meet up at 11:30 a.m. at the DRCSS parking lot, with the walk wrapping up at Vermillion Park where there will be an afternoon party until 4 p.m. This party features live entertainment, face-painting, resource tables and free hotdogs, chips, drinks and cake.
The Brandon Pride event takes place on Saturday, June 15, starting in front of Brandon City Hall at noon and then gathering at Rideau Park at 1 p.m. for Pride in the Park.
