Pride weekend: kiki it up!

So much to see, so much to do this weekend.

Start your night off right with a dance at the Garrison Grounds; $5 at the door. Shake your shimmy under the stars.

Saturday, of course is the parade, with expectations of as many as 100,000 spectators and 111 floats in this year’s event. There will also be fireworks that night at 10 o’clock, so find a good spot for watching. Maybe up on the hill?

And of course, there are multiple house parties, shindigs at the local watering holes and down at the Garrison, there is the ever-popular Wet Spot.

And as this is Friday, ie Office Dance Party day, a special something I have not been able to get out of my head for the past week. And now, with an official video! So you can kiki it up with all your friends.

Enjoy the weekend!
