Berkeley's First Annual Interfaith Pagan Pride Parade, 'Return of the Snakes'
We are pleased to invite you to the West Coasts first-ever Interfaith Pagan Pride Parade. This Pagan Interfaith parade will draw in spiritual and artistic groups from around the State to march in co-existence, peace, and harmony. Additionally, people from all walks of life, Pagan or not, will be welcomed from across the State to enjoy a day of fun, understanding, and education. The parade will bring people of many different earth-based and polytheistic faiths together to march in pride and unity. This years theme is the "Return of the Snakes," which serves as a symbolic metaphor for groups with indigenous beliefs, as well as the Kundalini life-energy within us all. Please visit our website for more information. www.geocities.com/snakeparade This parade will be held on Upper Telegraph ave, Between Dwight and Bancroft from 11:00am to 2:00pm on Saturday, March 23rd 2002.
