CDA4PRIDE 2022
Pride in the Park is North Idaho Pride Alliance's signature annual event to celebrate Pride Month. After a two-year hiatus, we are bringing the event bigger and bolder than ever on Saturday, June 11 2022 from 10 AM - 3 PM at Coeur d'Alene City Park and Bandshell.
Pride in the Park is a FREE family-friendly, community event celebrating diversity and building a stronger and more unified community for ALL. There will be food, entertainment, a family/children’s activity area, and 50+ booths in our Community Village & Artisan Market, representing community resources, Pride partners, local businesses, and handmade goods.
Over 1,000 people from across the Inland Northwest come to downtown Coeur d'Alene to celebrate PRIDE.
This event features and is organized by local volunteers, community groups, and allies who work together year-round to create a more inclusive North Idaho.
ACTIVITIES
PRIDE STRIDE is a fitness walk accessible to ALL throughout City Park pathways and bordering sidewalks. PRIDE STRIDE is an act of self-care and visibility. The 20-minute route will start at the Picnic Shelter at 10:30 AM led by a volunteer fitness partner. The first 75 participants will receive a small Progress Pride flag to wave while walking!
Take our Color Kindness Chalk Art Challenge at Pride in the Park! Join the activity at the Park Picnic Shelter from 10 AM – 3 PM. Event attendees of all ages are welcome to create chalk art at and near the shelter that promotes kindness, love, and inclusion. This activity is meant to inspire creativity, positivity, and belonging for all who participate or see the chalk art. Chalk art will be photographed and shared to further spread kindness.
Visit the Say Pride! Photo Booth at Pride in the Park near the Picnic Shelter. The first 300 people to visit will have an opportunity to have a Polaroid photo keepsake capturing the joy of celebrating PRIDE! We will have volunteers attending the photo booth to help take photos of smiling faces all day long!
