Last year, organizers held a virtual event in order to let people connect while also staying safe. YeVonne Allen with Northern Nevada Pride said holding an event in person this year was so important. The event included food trucks, vendors and live entertainment. Despite the excessive heat and wildfire smoke, thousands lined Virginia Street and went to Wingfield Park to watch the parade and attend the festival. Last year, the COVID-19 pandemic prevented many events, such as this one, from happening in person.Ī group of bikers kicked off the parade. Over the weekend, the annual Northern Nevada Pride parade and festival was held in downtown Reno.
