NASHUA — The Office of Mayor Jim Donchess is announcing that the City is moving forward with the Nashua Pride Parade.

An alternative parade route has been mapped in collaboration with the Nashua Police Department and Office of Emergency Management. The new route will allow expenses for the police detail and security to be covered by the remaining funds from prior-year Pride Festival donations. 

The parade is scheduled to begin at 1:30 PM Saturday, June 20, at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, located at the intersection of Concord, Amherst, and Nashville Streets. It will proceed down Amherst Street and enter Holman Stadium via Don Newcombe Way, where the Pride Festival, hosted by the Downtown Nashua Association, will run from 2-7 PM.

“We heard from the community how important the parade is to them, so we’re happy to announce we’ve developed a plan to make it happen,” said Mayor Donchess. “We look forward to an amazing festival at Holman Stadium and express our gratitude to the Downtown Nashua Association for their partnership in taking on this event.”

Interested parade participants can register through the 2026 Pride Parade registration form. Parade information can also be found on the City of Nashua web page. The City is also accepting donations.
