To accommodate the fast-changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, UPC started organizing four outdoor events in February that would allow attendees to reconnect in person but still maintain social distance. “A big pride party is all good and well, and we’re going to miss that this year… but 2021 and COVID have allowed us to bring something with depth and meaning as a Pride Week celebration,” said UPC Executive Director Rob Moolman. While the traditional Pride Parade had to be shelved for the second year in a row due to the COVID-19 pandemic, UPC has organized a weeklong slate of activities that bring a unique focus to Pride for 2021. The Utah Pride Center (UPC) is bringing Pride Week back to Salt Lake City for 2021 with all new events that promote representation and celebrate the history of the LGBTQ community in Utah.
