Every pride festival is unique, from place to place and from year to year. With each parade there is another reason to celebrate (or protest) and with every festival there is an opportunity to party with a purpose. Here, in Palm Beach County, we have gotten in the habit of telling people we march in March because that’s when the snowbirds are here. We memorialize the Stonewall Uprising the last week of June with the rest of the nation at our annual Stonewall Ball, but we take to our warm streets when many people across the country are busy shoveling theirs.
