Spokane Skate’s Peace Procession
Thank you for joining Spokane Skate in this year’s Spokane Pride Parade! For 2024, we will be teaming up with Lilac City Roller Derby, following their main crew of skaters to present a massive skate procession for Spokane. For legal reasons, they ask that only individuals wearing full skate gear (helmet, elbow, and knee pads) skate directly with them.
Our group will include skaters and walkers who want to demonstrate that peace and non-violence are the foundations of the future. We will showcase pride and world peace flags, and participants are invited to carry a 3×5′ flag for the duration of the parade. Additionally, we are collaborating with Veterans for Peace, so a few walkers will join their section.
After the parade, please meet us to return your flag. We will be hosting the Karaoke for the Pride Festival, so you can drop off the flag poles at the karaoke station.
Event Details:
Here are instructions for this Saturday’s festivities.
Please meet us before 11:15 AM at the parking lot next to the basketball court and skate park on the north side of Riverfront Park. Parking can be challenging, so arriving earlier is often better. You will recognize our group by the pride and peace flags on long poles. We are positioned with Lilac City Roller Derby.
Peace Procession through the Park after the Parade:
For those interested in continuing the peace procession, we will start at the Rotary Fountain and continue for about 3/4 mile through the park, finishing at the Skate Ribbon.
Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and authentically yourself. This day is all about celebrating you.
Thank you for joining us. Please note that we won’t be able to respond to texts, calls, or messages on the day of the event, so ask any questions you have before Saturday.
