PRIDE GUIDE 2003 GAY PEOPLE'S CHRONICLE

Cincinnati Pride expands to fill a full weekend

by Ken Colegrove

Greater Cincinnati Pride 2003 kicks off on Saturday, June 7 with the "official" start of the Pride Festival in Hoffner Park at 4 pm. No longer confined to "the circle" in Hoffner Park, the festival expands to all corners of the 21⁄2-acre space, allowing for larger crowds while achieving a more relaxed atmosphere.

The festivities continue on Sunday, June 8, as marchers gather two miles away in Burnet Woods for the fourth annual Pride parade.

Then at 1 pm, the parade will begin. This year's procession will be led by an assortment of convertibles both new and vintage that will carry all the rally participants. Following this will be Jacob's on the Avenue's Mercedes convertible carrying the parade marshals, Mr. and Mrs. Greater Cincinnati

Pride 2003, Kyle Robinson and Ivanna Lickya. Finishing out the 2003 Greater Cincinnati Pride Parade will be hundreds of marchers, including the Queen City Rainbow Band.

As in past years, the parade will exit Burnet Woods by turning right onto Clifton Avenue, then left onto Ludlow, and continue north on Ludlow until it arrives at the festival already in progress at Hoffner Park.

The parade will arrive in Northside around 2 pm. There, the entire community will gather once again in Hoffner Park, as the Pride Festival continues until 7 pm.

On a final note, the Cincinnati Pride Committee asks the community for their financial support for Pride. At each entrance to the festival there is a booth for donations. Please help the committee achieve their vision for the future of GLBT Pride in greater Cincinnati.
