Free pizza, zero commitment, and a chance to hang out with your new besties. What more could you ask for on a Monday? πŸ’«

Come through this Monday, July 27 at 6 PM for our Haverhill Pride volunteer info session. We're meeting in person on the 3rd floor of Pinnacle Coworking space (2 Merrimack St).

We will kick things off with a quick chat about our goals, then set you free to wander through our subcommittee tables. Find out what projects we are working on, ask questions, or just eat snacks and say hi. No pressure to sign your life away πŸ€—πŸŒˆ

Pull up a chair. We saved a slice for you πŸ•

What an incredible day! We owe a massive thank you to everyone who made Haverhill Pride 2026 possible πŸ’–πŸŒˆ

An event of this scale takes a ton of coordination and resources. We want to give a special thank you to .newengland , our Queen Slipper City Sponsor. As our top-tier partner, their incredible support played a huge role in bringing this entire festival to life.

Thank you to all of our sponsors and individual donors, the food trucks, the performers, and the businesses who opened up their spaces. And to our incredible volunteer crew who worked across every station all day to keep everything running smoothly, we quite literally could not have done this without you. 😭πŸ₯°

Haverhill, thank you for showing up, celebrating, and making yesterday so unforgettable. If you want to get involved, join us for an in-person info session on July 27 at 6PM in the 3rd floor of the Harbor Place Building to see where you might be a fit! πŸ’ͺπŸŽ‰

Today we are honoring Juneteenth and celebrating Black freedom, resilience, and history. Juneteenth and Pride coincide every year, serving as a reminder that Black liberation and Q***r liberation are inextricable from each other.

The modern Pride movement wouldn't exist as we know it without Black and Brown q***r and trans people, like Bayard Rustin, Ruth Ellis, Marsha P Johnson. Decades ago, they protested on the front lines, organized massive civil rights marches, created vital community safe spaces, and drove the strategic planning that pushed the entire movement forward. These efforts continue today.

If you are looking for a tangible way to support the community today, this weekend, and year-round, please consider investing in local Black and Brown-owned businesses here in the Merrimack Valley.

In this exhibition, Japanese/American painter Maya Hirasawa Brauer (they/them) presents vividly colored oil paintings inspired by the Buddhist concept of The Ten Realms of existence.

Make sure to stop by to see their work during any of these opportunities:
