CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The pride parade was back in action after being pushed back for nearly two years due to the COVID pandemic.
The mission of the parade is to honor the LGBTGIA+ community. The fun started downtown Corpus Christi by the Art Center and stretched to the American Bank Center, where a block party followed.
Lisa Perry with Board of Directors of Pride CC spoke with 3NEWS and said, "It's amazing to have this parade back after two years, to see all these have people coming together, it's just heartwarming to know that we are all out here for such an important cause."
The parade usually occurs in June during pride month but the increase of temperatures this past summer pushed the event back to October.
