Middletown, CT) The City of Middletown is thrilled to announce that the 2nd Annual Middletown Pride will take place on Saturday, June 5, 2021.

The City of Middletown, the Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce, and Wesleyan University—in collaboration with the Triangle Community Center—are again partnering together to raise awareness, celebrate, benefit and empower our diverse community and particularly the lives and contributions of our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, and asexual residents.

The parade will commence at 2 p.m. in Middletown, Connecticut on Main Street at St. John’s Square and will proceed down Main Street to Union Street. A festival featuring hours of live performances and a drag show will take place in the location of the South Green immediately following the conclusion of the parade and will run until 8 p.m..

We are inviting participation from local community groups, businesses, and individuals.
