Pride Week to kick off in Red Deer on Sunday
Scaled-back plans won’t mean this year’s Central Alberta Pride Week isn’t going to be fun.
Put on by Central Alberta Pride Society (CAPS), Pride Week runs from Aug. 8-14, separate from International Pride Month in June, giving revelers a chance to participate in both the bigger and smaller city events.
Things get going with Pride by the Park at Red Deer’s Baymont Inn this Sunday.
The event starts at 1 p.m. with a City proclamation, and then from 2:30-6:30, there will be performances by local drag queens and the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra. A beer garden is also planned, with events moving indoors should there be inclement weather.
