At the entrance, every bag was checked, and every ticketholder was scanned.
"We used the Evolv – which is a body scanner - instead of just a metal detector," said Pride in the Park founder Dusty Carpenter."It does a much better job."
Carpenter said security is a top concern – as the American Civil Liberties Union tracks a record number of anti-LGBTQ bills in states across the country. "We're an easy target," Carpenter said,"and I want people to be here to have a good time, celebrate, be who they are, and not worry about that." For the parade on Sunday, police want patrols to be sufficient for both the parade itself and the evening afterward – which historically sometimes has gotten out of hand.
