This year's pride parade - expected to include up to 5,000 participants and draw more than 50,000 onlookers - also has a new starting point. 'The stadium has been a wonderful home for many years, but a gay mecca like Palm Springs deserves a Pride celebration that's highly visible and in the heart of the city,' he said. Ron deHarte, president of Greater Palm Springs Pride, which hosts the event, said they'll 'enjoy significantly greater visibility as the Pride celebration moves out from behind the walls at Sunrise Stadium to world-famous Palm Canyon Drive in downtown Palm Springs.'
With perfect fall weather and free events, the 28 th annual Greater Palm Springs Pride celebration is poised to draw up to 100,000 people this weekend - and in a new, prominent spot downtown.
