A Farmington event celebrating LGBTQ+ Pride is scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday, June 25, at Meetinghouse Park beside the courthouses on Main Street.

This event is family friendly and open to all. Acceptance and education are the number one game changers for queer people in rural America, according to a news release from the Farmington Pride Board of Directors.

The event will include live music as well as drag performances by gender artists from all across Maine.

There will be speeches from local and state leaders along with food and item vendors around the park.

The event includes a harm reduction table to assist those struggling and a queer education table to help people better understand the community.

Tickets can be purchased for raffle items and gift cards donations from local businesses at the Farmington Pride table to bid and help raise money for next year’s Pride event.

The Board of Directors for Farmington Pride can emailed at pride.farmingtonme@gmail.com for those who have any clarifying questions.
