Due to the pandemic, the Utah Pride Center had to get creative this year to keep the center’s life-saving programs and services available to the LGBTQ+ community. Keeping social distancing and state guidelines in mind, the Center worked with Salt Lake City and the Utah Department of Health to organize PRIDE 2.0. Rather than decorated floats and tens of thousands of people packed into seven downtown blocks, everyone in the community — LGBTQ+ and allies — is invited to decorate their vehicles and bikes and join in the Road Rally on a long stretch of Main Street. For those who cannot join in their vehicle, the event will be live streamed with local cohosts on the Center’s website.
reach 2100 South, they’ll turn around and come back the way they came. Participants are asked to follow specific COVID-19 safety requirements which include: • Team members agree to stay in their vehicle. • Maintain 6-foot social distancing with people outside your household or social pod. • Wear a mask within six feet of other individuals. • Agree to take temperature with volunteers at any entrance gates if asked. • Current temperature at or below 100.3 degrees. • Experiencing no symptoms of sneezing, coughing or sore throat.
HOW IT WORKS
At 9am, teams will rendezvous at one of the 14 locations across the valley. Each team will receive an entry packet and goodie bag. At 10am the Road Rally begins. Teams will follow their Pace Car and caravan to downtown Salt Lake City and converge onto Main Street at 700 South and “Come Out & Drag Main.”
Money will be raised as participants form teams of 1 to 100 vehicles and bikes who will compete for top honors for most donations raised. These teams will be recognized at the event. Each team will meet at one of 14 designated locations (see the map to the left) across Northern Utah and caravan to downtown Salt Lake City and drag Main Street. “We are so excited we’ve come up with a way to gather and celebrate our community this year in a safe way. It’s wonderful to see participants signing up to come together to participate and raise funds for the Center which is such an important part of our community,” said Rob Moolman, executive director. Drivers will converge at 7th South and continue southbound on Main Street (see the map to the right). Before they
