ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The 2025 Annapolis Pride Parade and Festival has been postponed due to forecasted severe weather, officials say.
Annapolis Pride and Board Chair Joe Toolan made this decision after consulting with emergency management agencies and weather forecasting models.
"The safety of our community comes first," Toolan said. "Based on guidance from the Annapolis Office of Emergency Management and the National Weather Service, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the 2025 Annapolis Pride Parade and Festival due to the very real threat of severe thunderstorms, lightning, and flooding.
Thunder and lightning are expected in the forecast for Saturday.
