We even have a vaccination drive scheduled. We have organized several upcoming events and will follow COVID-19 precautions. We love our community and want to keep it safe. “However, it was our decision to postpone the parade until 2022. The organization said its goal is to keep the community safe from contracting or spreading the coronavirus. Pride Houston said the kickoff event was secured by a permit from the city of Houston for the September 25th Celebration Festival and Parade but decided to scale back on the annual event until 2022. But as new COVID-19 infections are rising and the presence of the Delta variant we think it would be more prudent to host a smaller capacity event,” said Thasia Madison, Pride Houston president. “We (Pride Houston) were looking forward to bringing back the parade this year since some COVID-19 restrictions have been relaxed. The organization said this decision was not based on the city of Houston. HOUSTON – Pride Houston is opting for a block party in Montrose instead of the 2021 Pride Parade in September due to the rise in COVID-19 cases and Delta variant in the Houston area.
