NORMAN — Thanks to an outpouring of community support, several events are planned this weekend during Norman's first LGBTQ Pride celebration.

Festivities begin with a kickoff party 5 p.m. Friday at TOLY Park, 227 W Main St., followed by a daylong fair Saturday and a parade Sunday.

“We're going to have a lot of stuff for kids to do,” Norman Pride President Andrew Coulter said. “We want to make sure it's family friendly.”

Local businesses, nonprofit organizations and more vendors will set up at 10 a.m. Saturday in the Gray Street parking lot. Scheduled activities include Zumba, live music, a fashion show and drag performances.
