Saratoga Pride Goes Virtual for 2020
/Pride Celebrations are looking a bit different this year…
2018 Pride Gathering at High Rock Pavilion
Out of an abundance of caution, and following the examples set by NY City and Albany, we are very sad to announce that Saratoga Pride will not be hosting its annual Festival in High Rock Park. We are, however, working on ways that we can still show some “Saratoga PRIDE” during the month of June. Broadway will once again be lined for the month of June with our Pride Banners, and we would like to light up the web with selfies and greetings from members of our community.
Going Online…
Visit saratogapride.com and our Facebook page in early June for video messages from community leaders and members of the Pride Committee. Starting June 2, once the Pride Banners are up on Broadway, we invite you to take a “selfie” or record a short video with them in the background to show your “Pride”! Then, post the image or video on your social media using the hashtag #saratogaprideselfie. Be sure to check back on our sites for more activities.
Hopefully by the fall we will be able to resume our “First Wednesday Happy Hours” and other group activities. Be sure to check SaratogaPride.com or Facebook for the latest news.
Pride Crosswalks in Downtown Saratoga!
The Saratoga Pride Committee has been working closely with the City of Saratoga Springs to brighten the community by creating Pride Crosswalks downtown. While we had hoped to unveil these new crosswalks this June, we have agreed with City officials that it is best to wait until 2021. In the meantime, here is an example from another city to get an idea of what they may look like. We are looking for contributions to help offset the cost of paint so if you are interested, please send an email to info@saratogapride.com to get details on how you can be a “crosswalk sponsor”.
