“Our parade and festival will be a family-friendly event, whose purpose is the celebration of the diversity of all forms of authentic-self, that is why we choose the first theme to be “Be Yourself, Change the World,” Micropolis Development Group CEO Tanyalynnette Grimes said in a news release. “We want everyone to come out and enjoy a fun filled day. There is an abundance of space, fresh air and sunshine along with a great outdoor event with plenty of activities to enjoy”
