🌈 🌈 Roxbury's 1st Pride Day is right around the corner! June 3rd from 10am-1pm. 🌈 🌈 Please try to RSVP at https://www.roxburynjpride.com/ It's ok if you don't. This just helps with planning.
🚗 PARKING - Parking will ONLY be available on Main Street and at the Lincoln Roosevelt & Franklin Lots on Meeker Street. If you par on Meeker, you'll have to walk through the cemetery to get to the event. Library parking lots will be blocked off, as will the church lot itself.
⛪ LOCATION - The entire event is located in the First Presbyterian Church of Succasunna parking lot, in between the church and the library.
🌧️ WEATHER - There will likely be some light showers on Saturday morning. Please dress appropriately. The parking lot loves puddles, so wear your wellies!
EVENT INFO:
Pride is about kindness. It's about love and acceptance of others regardless of ethnicity, ability, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Those are the themes of Roxbury's Pride Day which are more important than ever considering the correlation that lack of kindness, love and acceptance can have on the bullying experienced by young people and those in all walks of life.
Roxbury's Pride Day was born out of a desire to show that hate has no home in Roxbury, and that all of us deserve kindness....that we all deserve to feel pride in who we are.
So what's in the works? A joyous, family-friendly morning full of
--rainbows
--face-painting
--giveaways
--free food
--arts & crafts
--DJ entertainment
--lawn games
--cupcake decorating
--Pride flag raising ceremony
--and so much more!!!!
