March with the University in the Rochester Pride parade
Join members of the University community marching in the Rochester Pride parade on Saturday, July 16, at 11 a.m. Find a full FAQ here including shuttle, parking, and shirt information. Please note that in 2019, a decision was made to keep the same shirts every year for environmental and budgetary purposes. If you marched then and still have that tie-dye tank style shirt, you’re encouraged to wear that and not request an additional one as it will not be a different style. If you need a shirt, register here by June 24.
