Third Annual Hamptons Pride Parade, Saturday, June 1, 2024
April 2024
You are cordially invited to make history again in East Hampton Village’s Third Annual Hamptons Pride Parade on Saturday, June 1st. Following the last two years’ inaugural, runaway successes, Mayor Jerry Larsen has asked local nonprofit, Hamptons Pride, to continue to organize the parade, and the East Hampton Village Police to again expertly direct it. Lineup starts at 11 a.m. on Main Street near Pondview Lane and Guild Hall, and the parade kicks off at noon. Registered participants will march east on Main Street to Newtown Lane, Railroad Avenue, and Lumber Lane, ending in Herrick Park, where there will be music and celebration with D.J. Karin Ward until 3 p.m.
It’s easy and free to register at HamptonsPride.org, and the last day to do so is Wednesday, May 29th. Walk with friends, family, co-workers; launch a float; strike up a band; slow-roll in a sassy convertible or pickup. All are welcome! Let’s come out in the biggest numbers yet to celebrate and support the East End’s LGBTQ+ people and their allies.
One last note: Let’s protect our environment and village with a balloon-free, flag-filled, family-fun event. See you on June 1st, and together we’ll start Pride month off with a roar!
