City Hall | Worcester | September 8, 2020
This year’s Pride events in Worcester were put on hold due to the pandemic. However, thanks to the efforts of Nathan Manna of Northbridge, Massachusetts’ Democratic Town Committee, a Pride Flag-raising ceremony took place in front of City Hall. After a brief speaking program, Worcester Mayor Joe Petty read a proclamation establishing Pride Month in Worcester followed by a moment of silence for LGBTQ lives lost due to senseless hate and violence. Masks and social distancing were required.Â
