Special Notice from Equality Prince William
Dale City 4th of July Parade
Location: Mapledale Plaza Parking Lot
Corner of Dale Blvd & Queensdale Drive
Woodbridge, VA 22193
Monday, 04 July 2022 — 07:00 AM – 12:00 PM
This is the 8th year Equality Prince William will be participating in the Dale City 4th of July parade.
We will be gathering again in the Mapledale Plaza/Giant parking lot at 7:00 AM to create our “float” which is Dave Dooley’s bright blue Jeep and boat on a trailer.
The distance between Mapledale Plaza and Center Plaza where the parade ends is 2.3 miles.
If you can’t help decorate Dave’s Jeep, but still want to walk with E-PW, you can arrive later — the parade starts at 10:00 AM from Delaney Road and Dale Boulevard. Around 9:00 AM, we will be moving to our assigned slot in the parade (our slot number is 44).
Traffic along Dale Boulevard is severely restricted the day of the parade, so you might wish to come from Hoadly Road. Across from the Dar Al Noor Mosque, turn onto Queen Chapel Road — pass Penn Elementary and then take the 3rd right on to Qualls Lane. Your next right will be Queensdale Drive and you can turn left into the Mapledale Plaza parking lot without going on to Dale Boulevard.
Let Dave know if you will be joining in the fun: checkitagain@yahoo.com or (571) 278-6346.

EPW PRIDE IS BACK!
Prince William County, Cities of Manassas and Manassas Park, Virginia will once again have a local PRIDE event; this year on October 2, 2022. Located in the heart of Manassas at the Harris Pavilion, and hosted by Equality Prince William, this PRIDE event will not be successful without vendor tables and sponsorships from our local non-profits, businesses and citizens. Please consider becoming a PRIDE 2022 vendor or sponsor today! You can find all of the information you will need at https://www.equalityprincewilliam.org/pride-2022/
Equality Prince William is committed to recognizing the diversity of the Greater Prince William community. We don’t seek special privileges – only equality for all.
We believe that the LGBTQ+ community in Prince William County and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park, needs a voice. We hope that you support our efforts to make PWC a more welcoming, more diverse, more inclusive place to live and work.
The LGBTQ+ youth of PWC need to see that their county will support them and protect them. Please help us continue to fight for a better Prince William County, and support Pride 2022.
Equality Prince William is a non-partisan organization formed to address equal rights issues for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender individuals (LGBT) from a local Greater Prince William County perspective.
We are committed to maintaining an organization that reflects the diversity of the Greater Prince William community, and building relationships with business and civic groups, community leaders, and our elected leadership.
