SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Join ABC4 Utah on Sunday, June 2 as the Utah Pride Parade makes its way through downtown Salt Lake City, rain or shine.

The two-mile parade route is set to start at 10 a.m. and will wind through 13 blocks. The parade is a free event for all spectators. It’s also part of the larger Utah Pride Festival taking place in Washington Square Park June 1-2 with tickets starting at $5 per day.

Officials have estimated 10,000 participants for the parade and an expected 100,000 spectators. Attendees and marchers are encouraged to bring water, snacks, and sunscreen.

Those participating in the parade are also encouraged to ride share or take public transit to avoid parking problems downtown. There will also be several pay-to-park locations surrounding the parade’s staging area.
