A Welcoming “Pride”

cards1

San Gabriel Valley Pride is planning a celebration in another week!    And besides being a FREE event, it’s going to be: family-friendly, creative, fun, AND located in central Pasadena.

The San Gabriel Valley Pride Festival has “community” at its core.  This particular “Pride” incorporates exhibits by local nonprofits, LGBT-friendly churches, police, firefighters, and businesses.   It’s going to be a full day–and a festive one!   Scheduled events include author readings, a highly-unconventional bingo game, a special community documentary project and a popular art event in which everyone can participate, the “Big Draw L.A.”!

San Gabriel Valley Pride board members Chris Ramirez and Mitch Braiman offered a preview of their 2013 Pride Festival, themed “Pride Is!”.

“Pride Is!” happens on Saturday, September 28th, from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm in Memorial Park, on North Raymond Avenue between Holly and Walnut–right near the Memorial Park Gold Line station.

Next Saturday, September 28th, Pasadena’s Memorial Park will be full of color, life, laughter and people celebrating.

From 11:00 that morning to 6:00 in the evening, San Gabriel Valley Pride’s 2013 Pride Festival, themed “Pride Is!”, will be taking place.  And they could use some volunteers for two-hours shifts–AND some (tax-deductible) donations to help feed their volunteers as they put together a party!

San Gabriel Valley Pride Secretary Mitch Braiman (pictured here with his car “Trudy”) and SGV Pride Chief Financial Officer Chris Ramirez discussed the ways people can help–AND what everyone can look forward to, when they come to “Pride Is!”

“Pride Is!” happens on Saturday, September 28th, from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm in Memorial Park, on North Raymond Avenue between Holly and Walnut–right near the Memorial Park Gold Line station.
