Hello, Pride Bands Alliance friends and Triangle Pride Band members!

Each September in Durham, North Carolina, the Triangle Pride Band participates in the annual Durham Pride Parade. This parade is a fun and well-attended event in the city of Durham, and the Triangle Pride Marching Band would love to use this as an opportunity to collaborate with and hang out with our friends from other band programs. The parade in 2025 will be held on September 27th with other Durham Pride related festivities held throughout the weekend. We would love to use this as an opportunity for performers all over the country to have a fun and bite-sized gathering together.

Full Registration for this event includes the Triangle Pride Band hosted festivities, the t-shirt for the parade performance, and incidentals for participating in the parade. Parade-Only Registration includes the cost of t-shirts for the parade performance and incidentals for participating in the parade. Registration for this event will close on Thursday, August 28th.

For this event, the Triangle Pride Band has reserved a hotel block at Aloft Chapel Hill for a special rate. Should you book a room at the Aloft Hotel by Friday, August 15th, 2025, you will have a locked in rate of $99/night for the dates of the event (rates available for range of check-in on Thursday, September 25th and check-out on Monday, September 29th).
