    ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — The 2024 Rochester Pride Parade and festival occupied Highland Park Saturday, bringing big crowds together to celebrate.

    Organizers say the event broke attendance records this year, with between 20,000 and 25,000 visitors.

    This year’s honorary Pride marshal, Javannah Davis, spoke on what makes Pride so special.

    “The comradery and the energy and the love,” Davis said. “That everyone shares each other, it means that people still have that hope that our community is moving forward in the right direction.”
