Join members of Canopy's Diversity and Inclusion Alliance and walk in the 2024 Pride Parade on Sunday, August 18.
If you plan to join us please read all the following details so you are prepared for the parade.
All parade participants must sign the Canopy Parade Waiver. If you are bringing a guest all adult guests must sign a waiver. A separate waiver is also required for minors. We will have printed copies of the waiver available for you to sign on Sunday.
Please plan to meet at the Preferred Parking surface lot (across Montford from the Hal Marshall Center) – 616 N. Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC 28202. There will be parking in Uptown but the City of Charlotte encourages the use of public transit like CATS busses and the LYNX Blue Line to arrive in Uptown.
The parade begins at 1 p.m. and will wrap up around 4 p.m. with Canopy towards the later part of the parade line-up (Pink Zone/#818 in the line-up). We are recommending our Canopy parade walkers arrive between 1 p.m.-2 p.m. Allow plenty of time for parking and to find the group. When you arrive look for the Realtor® banner. Canopy staff will be there by 12:30 p.m. to start lining up but we are recommending our Canopy parade walkers arrive closer to the time the parade begins (1 p.m.) but no later than 2 p.m.
Please be sure to dress for the weather. We encourage you to wear your Canopy "Fair Housing for All" or "Realtors® Care Day" t-shirts. For more information email Karyn Lindsey at klindsey@canopyrealtors.com. If you have questions the day of the Parade, please call or text Karyn Lindsey 980-721-4355.
ALL participants (including guests) must sign this waiver to walk in the parade. Please review and sign the waiver prior to the afternoon of the parade.
