Overview
- Pride Houston announced late Saturday that the scheduled nighttime parade in downtown Houston was postponed because of severe weather and localized street flooding.
- The daylong Pride festival at Houston City Hall ran through the afternoon as planned and remained open until its scheduled 7 p.m. close.
- The National Weather Service recorded up to two inches of rain in parts of the region and forecast an additional 1–3 inches, prompting flood advisories for several counties.
- Organizers said they will meet with stakeholders and the mayor’s office to explore rescheduling the parade on a date between July 19 and October 31.
- The parade was to cap the 48th annual Pride Houston celebration, an event that draws regional participants and whose postponement could affect volunteers, vendors and marching groups making travel and planning changes.
