A joyful community celebration of unity and visibility returned Saturday morning as more than 100 entries marched down Olive Avenue for the Fresno Rainbow Pride Parade.<\/p>\n
This year’s theme, “Pride without borders,” highlighted inclusion, freedom and connection regardless of race, gender, sexuality, ability or immigration status.<\/p>\n
The annual event, now in its 36th year, brought crowds together in a show of support and celebration.<\/p>\n
“I wasn’t expecting this many people, like I love coming to the tower but to see this turnout its amazing,” said Katrina Moch, a Fresno resident.<\/p>\n
Organizers say the parade is meant to foster a sense of belonging and visibility across the community.<\/p>\n
Attendees echoed that sentiment, noting the importance of representation and support.<\/p>\n
“I think it’s super important especially in a city like Fresno, some families they don’t accept who their kid may be, just having resources, know there is community and people that do support them,” said Ashley Gutierrez, a Fresno resident.<\/p>\n
Following the parade, festivities continued with a festival at Fresno City College, offering additional opportunities for community members to connect and celebrate.<\/p>\n
