We’re beyond excited to march with you at this year’s Phoenix Pride Parade! Your presence with AZ Jews for Pride demonstrates the Jewish community’s support for the LGBTQ+ community, and we can’t wait to be together for this amazing event.

T-Shirts
T-shirt pickup will be on-site at the parade on Sunday ONLY. Shirts will be available to those who reserved them before September 29. After that, it’s first-come, first-served. Please note there will be no early pickups this year. We appreciate your understanding.
Plan for Traffic and Parking
We recommend giving yourself an extra 20-30 minutes on top of what you and your GPS estimate to account for traffic.
For parking, we suggest the mall at Central & Catalina (3110 N Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85012). From there, it’s about a 15-minute walk to our meetup spot, located at 46 E Roanoke Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85004. Look for the “AZ Jews for Pride” sign in the big open parking lot. Please don’t park in front of Kobalt.
Check out the map below for walking directions from the suggested parking area.
If you have trouble finding our group, we’re Entry ID #26, and parade volunteers can assist. You can also text Cantor Ross Wolman at 312-351-4951 for help.
Weather and What to Bring
The forecast is looking great with a high of 79°F, but rain or shine, the parade will go on! Be prepared by bringing:
- Sunscreen
- A hat
- An umbrella (for sun or rain protection)
- Lots of water
- Snacks
- A fully charged phone (and a backup battery, just in case)
What to Wear
Don’t forget your AZ Jews for Pride shirt! This year we’re wearing blue. Feel free to have fun with your attire by adding colorful accessories like umbrellas, boas, or tutus!
