Just before the pandemic, Decorah Pride helped organize a huge annual parade. My wife and I tend to avoid crowded events but thanks to PRIDE, the Decorah Police and other organizations, the Pride week festivities ran smoothly and safely! I know they all work very hard , months ahead of time to host such an event. The town supports the open-minded feeling, with rainbow flags every 50 steps along Water Street! Lots of groups, many without direct relation to LGBT issues, march in the parade. It is so nice to see a small town like Decorah, Iowa declare they care about ALL their residents!
