Seasonal Shift

No parade here:

The Pride Season Kickoff, initially scheduled for June 6, has been canceled due to insufficient attendance, despite strong online enthusiasm. The event was intended to enhance LGBTQ+ visibility and community connection in June, serving as a precursor to the main Boise Pride celebration in September. Organizers expressed their commitment to expanding Pride in Boise, emphasizing the need for active community participation to bring new events to life. “We know the desire for more Pride programming is real—we hear it constantly,” they said. However, they noted that early community buy-in is crucial for the success of events outside the flagship festival. All tickets for the canceled event have been fully refunded. Organizers remain optimistic, viewing this as an opportunity to “reflect, reset, and come back stronger.” They are focused on preparing for an unforgettable Boise Pride Festival this September and are seeking community support to ensure its success. “We still believe in the idea behind the Pride Season Kickoff, and we hope to revisit it in the future,” they said, inviting the community to stand with them and help grow the Pride movement in Boise.

Too bad nobody seems to want to...
