🌈✨ IT’S OFFICIALLY PRIDE MONTH! ✨🌈
This year, Montgomery County Pride In the Plaza proudly stands under the theme:

🔥 PRIDE AS RESISTANCE 🔥

Pride has always been more than a celebration. It is a movement. A protest. A declaration that our community deserves to live openly, authentically, and unapologetically. As we gather this June, we honor the trailblazers who fought before us, uplift those continuing the work today, and celebrate the joy, resilience, and power of LGBTQIA+ people across Montgomery County and beyond.

Join us for an unforgettable day filled with live entertainment, community organizations, food vendors, health and wellness resources, family activities, art, activism, and so much more as we come together to show that our pride remains a force for change.
