Strathroy Pride by Frank Emanuele Strathroy Pride is in full swing for our 2023 season. Hot off the incredible success of our 2022 Pride in the Park, our committee and volunteers were eager to start planning for a number of fabulous events and activities this year. Our goal is to reach out to a wider range of community members while including several neighbouring towns. We started our season off early this spring with a Family Pride Skate, Pride Karaoke, and our very first Family Pride Dance. We will be attending Drag Storytimes (sponsored by the Rainbow Optimistis) in Parkhill, Komoka, and Strathroy. In May, we’ll be playing Family Drag Bingo in Mt. Brydges - a fun-tastic date for the whole family! In June/July we will bring all the colours of the rainbow to the Downtown Strathroy Market. Come visit our booth for flags, pride gear, and giveaways. And get your rainbow gear out for events such as Drag Brunch, a Pride Hike in the woods, Drag shows, the Pride Flag Raising at Strathroy town hall, and so much more! Our grand finale Pride in the Park will be held on July 8th at noon at Alexandra Park in Strathroy. Join us for this incredible community-building event filled with local live entertainment, performances, family fun activities, delicious food, wonderful vendors, and Drag Storytime with our lovely Drag performers Miss Lita and Galaxy Rose. Pride in the Park is a free event thanks to the Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc and our many generous sponsors. For full details and updates on all our events – and for a list of our 2023 sponsors – please visit strathroypride.org or join our Facebook and Instagram pages.
