Bennington Pride March Slated for Sunday, June 30

What began as a civil rights demonstration in New York City in 1970, Pride March is now a major part of Pride month celebrations across the world. No matter the scale of the event or where it’s held, Pride March celebrates the progress made in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights and serves a powerful symbol of resilience, unity, and advocacy—plus, it’s a whole lot of FUN!

On Sunday, June 30th, Queer Connect will host Bennington’s 5th Annual Pride March on Main Street.

All individuals and organizations are welcome to march in the parade, which will step off at noon from the Hemming’s Motor News’ parking lot. However, a no-fee pre-registration is requested. To participate, email Jacklyn at pride@queerconnectbennington.com or click here to be taken to an online registration form.

The colorful celebration will continue with a post-parade block party at the Thomson Stage, next to the Splash Pad with activities running until 4 p.m. They will include live music, inspiring and voice-amplifying speeches by members of the LGBTQ+ community, family-friendly activities that promote inclusivity and understanding, and an assortment of food vendors.

 

Find SVMC at the Pride March
Southwestern Vermont Medical Center (SVMC) is proud to once again participate in the Bennington Pride March. In addition to marching in the parade, members of the SVMC care team will have a table at the after-parade celebration where we invite members of the community—LGBTQ+ or otherwise—to connect with us and learn about our efforts to provide safe, affirming and supportive healthcare for all.
