About the project

We're planning New Cumberland's very own (and possibly very first) PRIDE fest to celebrate our LGBTQIA+ neighbors on Saturday, July 23rd! 

Our keystone event will be a picnic in Borough Park complete with drag performers, food trucks, activities, resources and most importantly, COMMUNITY. We're also reaching out to businesses in town to help them plan their own events to fill the weekend with all kinds of fun events and activities so there's something for everyone.

The Steps

There are about ten of us in the planning stage, but we'll need funds to make some of this stuff happen.

- Secure Special Event Permit for Borough Park

- Purchase event liability insurance

- Secure food trucks for the day

- Work with local businesses to plan their own events

- Promote and advertise

- Secure stage, jiffy johns, and resources

Why we‘re doing it

We want our LGBTQIA+ community to be visible within the larger community in New Cumberland. We want to connect young people with resources and that will help them in their lives, and we want the community to see a population that has not traditionally been represented in New Cumberland. We want to show young people that they are not alone by providing an event that is fun and welcoming for folks of all ages.
