Saturday is shaping up to be a perfect day for the fifth annual Hamptons Pride Parade in East Hampton Village. 

Lineup begins at 11 a.m. on Main Street between Guild Hall and the Presbyterian Church. Participants will step off at noon, walking up Main Street and Newtown Lane to Railroad Avenue. A party in Herrick Park until 3 p.m. will include music by the Bridgehampton School Marimba Band, D.J. Watts, and the singer-songwriter Inda Eaton accompanied by Jeff Marshall and Mila Tina, along with food trucks to fuel the dancing. 

Those who want to walk in the parade have until Thursday to register at hamptonspride.org. Floats, groups of friends, nonprofits, and businesses will all be welcomed, but balloons will not. 

Looking ahead, Hamptons Pride will hold a fund-raiser on June 20 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the LongHouse Reserve. Tickets start at $188.58 including online fees; they are available by searching “Hamptons Pride Party at LongHouse” on eventbrite.com.
