More than 900 people are set to parade their way through State College this weekend as part of the borough’s third-annual Pride celebration. That’s more than triple last year’s participants, according to Cat Cook, the executive director of Centre LGBT+, also known as the Centre LGBTQA Support Network.
Saturday’s Pride parade will begin at State College Area High School and proceed to Allen Street before making its way downtown. There, the walking portion of the parade will march several blocks to Sidney Friedman park, where a festival will take place.
