Here are some pictures I took from Tri-Pride Parade 2022, the first ever Large-Scale Pride event held in Bristol, TN, and Bristol, VA!
The ones leading the parade!!
Pics of me and my fiancé! This was our first time attending a large-scale Pride event!
Pics of Ms Tri-Pride Eboni Alexander and of the cars!
(also, that kid that was a group away from us was soooo wholesome!! Before the parade started, I heard him ask his parents incredulously "The parade's going to come to US?!" COVID's been a thing for 2, going on 3, years so the poor kid probably hadn't ever seen a parade that he can remember.
Free Mom Hugs!
I may be a bit biased, but the best performers had to have been the East Tennessee State University color guard. I have so many pictures of them on my phone, but here's probably the best one
Can't remember what this group was for, but my fiancé was hard core in love with the person in the middle
Another group with flags that were also quite amazing! The guy in the front and center had so much gay and fabulous swagger!
Will be posting more pics of the event from inside the campgrounds soon! (Likely as a reblog of this post)
