Rockville To Celebrate Pride Month June 16

ROCKVILLE, MD — Rockville will celebrate its LGBTQ community at the second annual Rockville Pride festival Saturday, June 16.

The celebration, presented by the City of Rockville’s Human Rights Commission, will take place in Rockville Town Square and in the second-floor conference room of Rockville Memorial Library, just off the square at 21 Maryland Ave.

The festival will feature live intergenerational performances, educational booths, interactive dialogue, crafts and face painting.

Rockville’s Mayor and Council issued a proclamation May 14 declaring June as LGBTQ Pride Month in the city. The proclamation, in part, recognized “the challenges that have occurred throughout history as equality has been pursued, and that equal opportunity and freedom from discrimination are rights for everyone and essential for a well-functioning society.”

The celebration will go from 2-4 p.m.
