Pride will return to Norman this fall after taking a year off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Norman Pride Board announced this week.
Norman Pride is tentatively scheduled for the weekend of Oct. 8-10; barring any unforeseen spikes in COVID-19 cases, the celebration will be on, said Pixie Quigley, the vice president of the Norman Pride Board.
Quigley said that for the LGBTQ2SIA+ community, which thrives on togetherness and having a strong support system, having to cancel Pride 2020 was extremely tough.
