Bursting with color, joy, and community spirit, our annual Pride in the Park kicks off the celebration of Pride Month.
From the color run, to the Maker’s Market, enjoying delicious eats from local food trucks, and dancing to the beat of the music, everyone is invited to celebrate love, diversity, and the freedom to express themselves authentically.
COLOR RUN SIGN UP!
Color run tickets are now available!
Pride in the Park is a free event open to all, but registration is required to participate in the Color Run.
The Color Run is a fun run suitable for all ages and experience levels — runners and walkers of all abilities are welcome! The course consists of two 0.5-mile loops of the field and features six color-blast stations of food-safe color powder.
