St. John’s Pride is looking at introducing fixed dates for its pride festivities to make it easier for people to plan around.
The organization announced details of the 2024 Pride Festival earlier this week.
While some view the mid-may announcement as being early, Co-Chair External Eddy St. Coeur says the board believes the schedule was put out too late.
He says they get hear from people who live away that they would like to come home for Pride, but the dates are always revealed too late.
St. Coeur says that is something they are hoping to address for next year.
He says they are looking at setting the parade date in stone, for the same time in July each year, so that people can work it into their vacation planning.
