A trio of special events launched the 42nd annual Worcester Pride festivities: the lighting of the Burns Bridge in rainbow colors, the Pride flagraising ceremony at City Hall and the Worcester Pride Pageant, hosted by Miss Crystal (Christian Rea) and Miss Gay Worcester 2016 at Fiddler’s Green. And the crowds came out along with the sun for PrideFest 2017, with Pulse Orlando nightclub survivor Tommy Connelly and popular local TV personality Dale LePage serving as Co-Grand Marshals. LePage is host of New England’s first LGBTQ television show “New England Pride TV.”
