The Abington community once again showed its pride during the Bucks-Mont Pride Festival, organized by The Welcome Project PA, writes Nick Iadonisi for 6abc.
The organization is a Montgomery County-based nonprofit that serves Philadelphia, Montgomery, and Bucks counties.
“This event is a celebration of inclusion and diversity, and it’s also an entry point to experience pride maybe for the first time,” said Executive Director of The Welcome Project PA, Josh Blakesely. “Just to bring together different counties and different prides together.”
The organization has been hosting the annual festival for years.
“We can welcome youth and adults to celebrate diversity, inclusion, and freedom of expression and who we are,” said Blakesely.
The festival, which took place on June 30, featured two LGBTQ+ cheerleading squads, art-making projects, and even had a therapeutic horse.
One of the aims of the family-friendly event was to show that pride is celebrated aĺl throughout the year at the Abington Art Center, not just during June and Pride Month.
