Veggie Pride Parade May 17, 2009

The First Veggie Pride Parade in America took place in Greenwich Village, New York City, in May 2008. A repeat performance is scheduled for May 17, 2009.

Just as last year, the parade will launch in Manhattan's Olde Meat District
(where 9th Ave., Gansevoort St., Greenwich St., and Little West 12th St. intersect) at 12 Noon. Line-up will begin at 11 a.m. and culminate in Union Square Park (northern end) where a festival of music, speakers and exhibitors will take place.

And again, just as last year, parade participants will wear costumes and carry sign boards announcing their pride in their vegetarian lifestyle. Local restaurants and veggie and veg-friendly groups will represent themselves with banners.
