The big finale to the pride festival in the capital city is taking place today.
The St. John’s Pride Parade begins at 1:00 p.m. outside city hall.
People will be marching to show support for the 2SLGBTQIAA+ community not just in St. John’s, but throughout the entire province.
The route will include a sensory safe zone on Duckworth Street between Church Hill and Cathedral Street.
As well, a bus ride along has been arranged to follow the parade to ensure all can participate.
