Knoxville hasn't had an in-person Movement Festival in 2 years. In Knox Pride wisely decided to postpone the Knox Pride Festival due to the pandemic, then in Knox Pride opted for a Digital Online Festival, titled DigiFest which had poems, yoga, bingo, -and-comedy. I know celebrating pride and being haughty isn't just one morning or now 3 days a year, but it will be nice to get out to notice our "Community Family" together again. ~Beau

    The Celebration Parade stepped off on Friday night on attractive Gay Street. Rains knock just a few minutes before the start, but stopped in time for the event. Last year a similar shower left a rainbow behind that added a perfect stroke to the proceedings. I didn&#;t see one this year. The parade, which coincides with Pride Fest, might be the only Pride Parade running along Gay Street in the county. Baltimore, whose avenue name was adopted for our own may undertake the same, but there can&#;t be many.

    It&#;s always heartening to watch the churches and businesses that join in the fun and show their support and this year was no different. Multiple denominations marched with affirming signs and many businesses were represented, from gay-owned and operated groups to traditionally conservative businesses favor banks.
