Erie, Colorado (June 2, 2023) – Being Better Neighbors will host its second annual Erie Pride event on Sunday, June 4, 2023, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. The celebration will be held in Downtown Erie on Briggs Street, between Moffat and Cheesman streets.

The family friendly event, which is free and open to the public, will feature a marching band, a DJ, Drag Queen Storytime, a Drag Performance, vendors selling amazing items, nonprofit organizations that support the LGBTQ+ community plus food and dessert trucks.

“We are very excited to host our second annual Pride event,” said Christina Pisano, Board Member. “This event is a celebration of people coming together in love and friendship to show support and create a safe space for our LGBTQ+ community.”

The event is organized by Being Better Neighbors, a nonprofit organization that works to embrace Erie’s growing diversity and nurture an inclusive town. The organization provides resources and support to LGBTQ+ individuals and their families.

The Being Better Neighbors Erie Pride celebration is part of a larger national movement to celebrate LGBTQ+ rights and visibility. Pride Month is celebrated every June in honor of the Stonewall riots, which took place in New York City in 1969. The riots were a turning point in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

The event presents a great opportunity to learn more about the LGBTQ+ community and to show your support for equality. For more information, please visit the Being Better Neighbors website, www.beingbetterneighbors.org.
