EDMOND — The city's first LGBTQ Edmond Pride event will be Oct. 20 in Hafer Park and include a day full of activities.

On Wednesday, the Edmond Special Events Committee approved the Edmond Pride event.

The Student Alliance for Equality from the University of Central Oklahoma will host the all-day event that will include entertainment and vendors from across the state.

“The proposal seems like it would be a good event,” said John Stephens, director of admissions at the University of Central Oklahoma, who is leading the event with several UCO students.
