On October 1, 2022, Uniting Pride held the Pride Parade and Fair in downtown Urbana. Thanks to all the amazing support from staff and elected officials, the City of Champaign showed up in a big way! Mayor Feinen, Council Members Foellmer, Pianfetti, and Beck, as well as City staff representing six different departments (City Manager’s Office, Equity and Engagement, Public Works, Neighborhood Services, Human Resources, and Police) showed up with friends and family to march in the parade along with the City’s float. After the parade, the Pride Fair allowed staff to hand out City resources, engage with community members, and give away some awesome City of Champaign prizes.
