Dallas Pride Week 2009
by Trey C. on September 13, 2009
Holy mother of Jesus, it’s gay week — for Dallas, Texas. With tons of shit going on we’ve compiled a small list of events that is probably worth a little of your time. Don’t bother on anything else that isn’t listed. Check it out after the jump.
Sept 18, Pre-Pride at the Park – The Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau, Logo Online, Gay List Daily, Barefoot Wine, Red Bull and W Dallas – Victory Hotel invite you and your friends to enjoy complimentary cocktails while moving and grooving to the crazy-cool beats of DJ Jeff Mitchell as we kick off the 2009 Pride weekend! The first 200 guests will enjoy a VIP gift bag filled with all kinds of fabulous goodies, so make sure you’re not TOO fashionably late or you might miss out! More info.
Sept 19, Gay Day at Six Flags – Okay, it isn’t really officially sponsored by Six Flags, but it’s just a day where a bunch of gays take over the pony rides and stuff. Should be fun!
Sept 19, Pride Gala – Join the uppity gay Dallas socialites at the event of the year! 50 Foot Woman is thrilled to unveil the 2nd Annual Pride Gala Saturday, September 19th. This is an exclusive event during the Gay Pride Weekend and stays within the weekends’ festivities and the theme Your Rights, Our Rights, Human Rights! Enjoy the ultra sultry downtown city atmosphere of Third Space as you are surrounded by the discerning LGBT community. Only 150 tickets will be sold! More info.
Sept 20, Alan Ross Freedom Pride Parade – And the most important event of all, the pride parade. The parade will start at 2pm beginning at Wycliff and Cedar Springs and will go all the way down towards Lee Park. The festivities at Lee Park will actually begin a little earlier at 11am. Notable speakers at the pride event include Cleve Jones (associate to Harvey Milk, founder of AIDS Quilt, and March on Washington), and Adam Bouska of the NoH8 Photo Project. See you all there!
