Orlando Pride was held on Sunday, October 12, and once again was located around Lake Eola in downtown Orlando. David and I met a few friends there to see the pride parade and to attend the festival. The weather was beautiful, not too hot, and breezy, perfect for a day in the park. There were dozens of booths set up around the North and West borders of the lake, selling merchandise or food and drink, or providing information. There were speeches and entertainment at the bandshell, including Lisa Lisa. However, although there were a lot of people out, there were surprisingly very few bears out. We still had a good day, and for the parade we scored a great spot under some large oak trees. |
