June is National Pride Month: 50 Years after Stonewall

In New England, the Pride celebrations in June are located in Boston, Providence, Portland and North Shore (Northampton was May 4). In Worcester, we recognize that we have too many colleges to ignore that population and we recognize that most people in Worcester attend at least one of the larger, regional Pride celebrations in June. As a result, we wait until the week of September 7th to have Pride here in Worcester (worcesterpride.org).
