June is Pride month, in honor of the 1969 Stonewall riots credited with launching LGBTQ political activism, and there are activities planned throughout the Tampa Bay area to celebrate the community.
The month is intended to celebrate hard-won equality and to raise awareness about efforts still in progress.
Jamestown Pride Fest to take place Saturday, June 12th in Downtown Jamestown
The
Jamestown Pride Planning Group has announced the Jamestown Pride Fest will be take place Saturday, June 12th. The LGBTQIA+ community has historically celebrated Pride in June to commemorate the Stonewall Riots that took place in June 1969.
Pride Coordinator
Sheridan Smith said with last year’s Pride canceled due to the Pandemic they weren’t sure what was even going to be possible for this year until a few months ago, “So, one month out this has been just a very big undertaking to get done as quickly as we have. And now that we finally have the permits, I can tell you that Pride is happening at the Jamestown Public Market and another location just off the Public Market.”
