The Pride Center is closed today, Wednesday June 19th, in honor of Juneteenth Freedom Day. Finally becoming a federal holiday in 2021, Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and highlights the continuing fight for racial justice and equity.

There will be no Quiet Reading Club or other programming today.

We hope instead you’ll attend Beacon’s Second Annual Juneteenth Riverfront Festival, organized by Beacon4BlackLives and Bosco and the Storm. The festival is from 11:00am-5:00pm at Pete & Toshi Seeger Riverfront Park in Beacon. Check out their pages for more details!
