The West Hartford Pride Planning Committee is thrilled to announce that on June 27, 2020, a first-ever Pride Festival will take place in town.

The West Hartford Pride Festival will fill Blue Back Square with a street fair and entertainment. Cinepolis will have two screens dedicated to LGBTQ films and documentaries handpicked by the staff at OUT Film CT. Inclusion of activities for families and youth is important and the Pride Committee has reserved space in the Noah Webster Public Library for programming suited for youth. There is even an art show on tap. This is an event for everyone to enjoy. Other activities will be announced as planning progresses.
