The organizers of Middletown, Connecticut’s PrideFEST are among the first to announce the date for their LGBTQ+ Pride festivities for the coming year — June 3, 2023.
“In less than six months, we will come together to celebrate another fantastic Middletown Pride,” Steven Kovach, chairperson of the LGBTQIA+ Commission, told The Middletown Press. “Each year, Middletown Pride has grown to new heights, thanks to our partners, volunteers, and the hard work of staff from the city of Middletown and the Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce.”

The celebration will consist of an all-day event that includes the Pride march, rally, and showcase concert that will feature “amazing” local LGBTQIA2S+ artists and performers, along with a few never-before-seen surprises, the statement said. Last year, the celebration drew approximately 20,000 people from all over New England, making it the largest Pride event in the state.
“PrideFEST is a magical day for Middletown’s queer community, where we can come out together to demand that our local, state, and federal leaders continue the hard and necessary work of obtaining equal rights for all members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community,” city Assistant General Counsel Christopher Forte, founder of Middletown Pride, said in a prepared statement.
