For the last 3 years a small but enthusiastic group of folks in White River Junction have been organizing a week of Pride themed events to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community in the Upper Valley. Events occur the last week of July, so as not to coincide with other Pride events around the region in June.  When the WRJ PRIDE planning  committee first organized it was the height of COVID. Events were smaller in scale and socially distant. Last year over 500 people attended the events. This year they have increased the number and scope of events.  The celebration runs from Saturday, July 23rd to Saturday, July 30th. For more information contact The Main Street MUSEUM in White River Junction, VT, or email wrjpride@gmail.com.

 

All Events are at The Main Street MUSEUM

58 Bridge Street, WRJ VT 05001

(Except where noted on ZOOM)
