GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — A pop-up pride event is set to take place in downtown Green Bay on Oct. 4 as a response to the recent postponement of the NEW Pride Alive festival .
An event called "We Will Still Be Seen: A Pop-Up Pride" is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 4, Tarl Knight, the owner of the Tarlton Theater, announced in a press release Monday.
This comes after last week's decision to postpone Brown County's annual LGBTQIA+ festival, NEW Pride Alive, a decision organizers said was made "in light of the increasingly charged political climate."
The October 4 pop-up event will start with a rally on the CityDeck along the Fox River at 12 p.m., featuring speakers representing the LGBTQIA+ community at 1 p.m. A community walk will connect the rally to a pop-up pride block party on the 100 blo
