4th Annual Celebration Of Pride On June 1 In Mercer County

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.”

The family-friendly event will include a short program of speakers from the new Robbinsville chapter of PFLAG, the nation’s first and largest organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for LGBTQ+ people and their families.

This will be followed by music, celebration, and light food and beverages. The event is for all ages, but attendees must be 21 or older to drink.

Pride attire is not required, but enthusiastically encouraged.
