EAST HAMPTON, NY — A crowd is once again expected to turn out to celebrate what's become a beloved tradition: The 5th Annual Hamptons Pride Parade is set to unfold Saturday in East Hampton Village.
Lineup starts at 11 a.m. on Main Street between the Presbyterian Church and Guild Hall, and the parade kicks off at noon, organizers said.
Registered participants will march east on Main Street to Newtown Lane, Railroad Avenue, and Lumber Lane, ending in Herrick Park, where there will be music and celebration until 3 p.m. with the Bridgehampton School Marimba Band, DJ Watts, and local singer-songwriter Inda Eaton, accompanied by Jeff Marshall and Mila Tina.
All events are free, and lunch is available from local food truck vendors at the park.
"Walk with friends, family, co-workers; launch a float; strike up a band; slow-roll in a sassy convertible or pickup. All are welcome!" organizers said. "Let’s come out in the biggest numbers yet to celebrate and support the East End’s LGBTQIA+ people and their allies!"
Organizers reminded that the event is balloon-free, to protect the environment.
