Memories from the 2nd Annual Naples, NY Pride 2023
Saturday, July 30, 2022 3pm-7pm on the Naples High School lawn 136 N. Main Street, Naples, NY
Come rain or shine, our community celebrated with pride!
We made art
We marched
[sorry — no pictures, given the journey was in a downpour]
We spoke poetry
We made music
We lifted spirits with our words
We broke bread together
~ Thanks to the Village of Naples for sponsoring this celebration ~
Following a colorful procession down Main Street, folx arrived at a picnic setting of blankets, tables and chairs, visually joyful and inclusive. Everyone was invited to bring vivid tablecloths & place settings as well as food. Together, we shared a community potluck picnic, Dinner in Rainbow!
