Each June marks Pride Month, an opportunity to recognize, advocate for, and uplift the LGBTQIA+ community. To celebrate and support our LGBTQIA+ friends and family here in our city, Maple Street Park will host the inaugural Essex Pride Festival. Featuring Drag Story Hour, local LGBTQ+ artists, businesses and performers, a family dance party, and so much more! We’re hoping you’ll join EJRP and the Essex Pride Committee in this inclusive and welcoming all-ages event.
