City of Sioux City recently issued the following announcement on August 30.
Siouxland Pride Alliance will host Sioux City PrideFest 2021 from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, September 18, 2021. The event will be held on 4th Street between Nebraska and Jackson Streets. The Sioux City Public Museum, including its green space, will also be used for the event.
Kicking off PrideFest 2021 will be a LGBTQ+ Walk from 4th and Iowa to the Museum. The purpose of the walk is to honor our local LGBTQ+ history. The walk will begin at 11:30 a.m. and begin at 4th and Iowa Streets.
Although the PrideFest is typically held in early June, Siouxland Pride Alliance made the decision, due to COVID-19, to hold the event in the fall. Attendees are strongly encouraged to wear face masks. Hand sanitizer stations will be available on-site and most PrideFest 2021 activities will be held out of doors.
A free lunch will be available to all who attend the event.
A variety of activities will be offered including a yoga class by Connie Reynolds (The Yoga College), arts and craft for children, a children’s story time, face painting, a LGBTQ+ trivia quiz, Drag Queen Bingo and other games, a drag show by Haus of Qui and an organizational fair featuring nearly 40 local and regional organizations and businesses.
A few free spaces are available at the organizational fair. Interested organizations or businesses should contact 712-223-0931 for more information.
A variety of community organizations are co-sponsoring Pride Fest 2021 along with Siouxland Pride Alliance. They include Disabilities Resource Center of Siouxland, Mom Hugs—Northwest Iowa, PLFAG of Siouxland, and the Sioux City Human Rights Commission.
The event is free, family-friendly, and open to all.
