Princeton Community Pride Picnic 2022

On June 3 more than 1,500 people celebrated Princeton's LGBTQ community with music, games, activities, giveaways and more at this family-friendly event featuring local nonprofits and community groups.

 

Held in the expansive courtyard of the Princeton Shopping Center, the tunes were spun by DJ Mona of Mon Amie Events NYC with sound provided by Lake Smithfield Studio. Everyone had the chance to enjoy a bubble show by OMG Bubbles, hula hoop along with Color Me Hoopy, participate in yoga, or help paint a collaborative community mural and go home with fun giveaways .

Sen. Andrew Zwicker, Mayor Mark Freda and other local dignitaries were in attendance and local nonprofits and community groups had tables with activities and information for attendees.

 

Rita's Italian Ice gave out free water ice for the kids and there were free rainbow bagels thanks to The Bagel Nook and cookies to give away thanks to McCaffrey's Food Market of Princeton.

 

This event was coordinated by Princeton Public Library in collaboration with our community partners at McCarter Theatre Centre, HiTOPS, Princeton Civil Rights Commission, Princeton Human Services, YWCA Princeton and Princeton YMCA.
