2012 Festival & Parade

Humboldt Pride Inc. is proud to announce the 2012 Humboldt Pride Parade and Festival taking place on Saturday, September 8th from noon to 5:00p.m. at Halvorsen Park on Eureka’s beautiful waterfront. This year’s theme is “20 Actions for 2012: Celebrating Our Twentieth Year.”

For two decades Humboldt has celebrated its Pride by building a stronger and more diverse community. Humboldt Pride encourages all local residents to commit to at least one of the 20 actions, listed here, to continue this exceptional progress. At this year’s Pride festival week of events we will publicly recognize the actions people have taken to make the North Coast a better place for all its residents to live.
