The 2018 Burnaby Pride Street Party was the city’s first event of its kind and came with another Burnaby first – a Pride sidewalk.
This year’s event is actually expanding, with a second event happening.
But organizers say they need more volunteers to ensure it is a success.
“The Burnaby Pride Street Party is back for a second year, and we need your help to make it the most fabulous party in Burnaby,” said a post one the event’s website. “However you identify (we welcome our cisgender, straight allies!), if you support the rights of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and want to help celebrate our beautiful diversity in Burnaby, we invite you to join our Pride Volunteer Team!”
The street party needs volunteers from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 10. The actually event is from noon to 4 p.m., but people are needed to also help set up and tear down.
New this year is the Rainbow Garden Party happening on Friday, Aug. 9, with volunteers needed from 1-10 p.m. Volunteers must be 18 years-plus.
