A diverse group of community members and local organizations have come together to organize a Pop-Up Pride in Boston.
Festivities start at 11 a.m. on Sunday, June 12, and include a rally and festival with food, music and performances, along with youth, family and quiet areas. Check out their website in the coming weeks for the line-up of speakers, performers and more.
Meantime, here’s the latest from the Pop-Up Pride Boston 2022 website:
Boston Pop-Up Pride is a grassroots, community-organized, community-centered, one-time event. We look forward to celebrating all LGBTQ+ identities, honoring the work of our ancestors, and giving back to our Boston community.
In the wake of a dismantled Boston Pride, we seek to reclaim a Pride that not only belongs to the community, but serves the entirety of the LGBTQ+ community – especially Greater Boston’s communities of Queer and Trans Black, Indigenous, people of color (QTBIPOC).
LGBTQ+ community leaders and groups are in the process of rebuilding a Pride organization for Boston. In the meantime, Pop-Up Pride brings you this one-time event and shares its vision of the future of Pride in Boston.
Organizing partners include Pride for the People, Mass Equality, MA LGBT Chamber of Commerce, Boston Lesbigay Urban Foundation, BAGLY, MA Commission on LGBTQ Youth, GLSEN, Greater Boston PFLAG, GLASS, Queer Youth Assemble, Girls’ LEAP, Fenway Health, and more joining every day.
