We may have taken a couple weeks to rest, but we are still overwhelmed with PRIDE at the way Newington showed up in the hundreds for our 2nd Annual PRIDE IN THE PARK!!! Thanks to you, this year was another huge success and such a powerful, inspiring day of visibility, joy, and community. 🌈🌼🏳️‍⚧️

We’ve already shared so many thank you’s, but we want to say again:

❤️ To the countless local vendors who took the time to showcase their talents, creativity, and resources;
🧡 To the extraordinary Old Milk Mooney, Arcana, and Amaris Valkyrie for joining us to share their inspiring q***r art, and DJ Kirk for keeping the party going;
💛 To Marissa Vaspasiano and Debra Tubbs for partnering with us again this year and providing some amazing food;
💚 To the leaders who joined us and who stand up for our community across Connecticut everyday;
