Free Summer of Love PRIDE Walk June 27

Per Montgomery Parks:

Celebrate Pride Month with Montgomery Parks and the Moco Pride Center at the free Summer of Love PRIDE Walk at Martin Luther King, Jr. Recreational Park on Sunday, June 27, from 4:30 to 8:30 pm.

Bring your friends and family and take an evening walk on our Pride-themed trail that celebrates the LGBTQ+ community of Montgomery County! Hang out at the PRIDE picnic area, where you’ll find a DJ and lawn games!

Along the 0.8-mile fully paved trail, you’ll have multiple chances to take fun, Instagram-worthy photos with your loved ones at the colorful butterfly field, chalk art, and other areas.

Please bring your own picnic blanket or chairs to hang out in the PRIDE picnic area. DJ Confetti the First will be on-site to provide music, and you can grab food from the Pop Up Poutine & Patisserie food truck and the Kona Ice truck! Feel free to bring your own snacks or food for the PRIDE picnic area, as well as plenty of water to stay hydrated!
