De 10 h à 11 h 45, il y a une fête de lancement à l’extérieur du Bulldog avec de la musique et des divertissements en direct, de la nourriture et des boissons. – À 11 h 45, le défilé commence. C’est un “trottoir parade” à Rice Park (seulement environ 17 min à pied). – Nous n’aurons pas de stand, donc votre seule obligation serait de marcher et de s’amuser!

Après le défilé, vous pouvez vous séparer ou rester à l’événement si vous le souhaitez.
