Baltimore Pride block party and parade brings out proud crowd

The annual open-air Baltimore Pride block party/parade was held under sunny skies on Saturday afternoon on Charles Street in and around Baltimore’s Mount Vernon-Belvedere areas.

The happening’s inaugural run dates back to 1977. It grows larger each passing year. The high-heel race was scheduled for 3 p.m.  and the parade itself set off around 3:30 p.m. The Gay and Lesbian community was out in full force for the celebration, with all of their rainbow colors flowing in the wind. Thousands of fans/family, including lots of kids, lined both some of the sidewalks on Charles from Centre Street up to Chase Street, to cheer the good-spirited marchers on.

Plenty of Bmore-styled summer grilled food and music  on hand that added to the jubilant ambiance of the merrymaking.

It’s fair to say: A good time was had by all!
