MERCER COUNTY, NJ - The 4th annual Celebration of Pride in Robbinsville or popularly known as Robbinsville Pride will take place on Saturday, June 1, at PJ’s Pancake House & Tavern at 17 Main Street in Robbinsville, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Robbinsville Pride is a festive celebration for the local LGBTQ+ community and its allies to come together and recognize the impact of LGBTQ+ individuals; acknowledge the challenges faced by this community historically and currently; celebrate the triumphs of those who fought and continue to fight for full equality; and reaffirm our commitment to standing in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community.
“2024 has continued to be a hard year for LGBTQ+ individuals, with over 500 new anti-LGBTQ bills, many targeting the transgender community,” said Amanda Gruber, chair of the Pride Event Committee. “Robbinsville Pride is about fostering a community where every individual, regardless of identity, feels seen, supported, and valued. Everyone is invited to come together for this day of celebration and learning.”
