Montclair Pride 2024 (NJ)

Info

Montclair Pride takes place on Saturday the 8th June 2024.

Revenue generated at Montclair Pride is invested back into year-round educational and community programming to create safe spaces and other resources for LGBTQIA+ teens, families, seniors, as well as trans, gender-nonconforming, and nonbinary people of all ages. This specialised programming is urgent as anti-LGBTQIA+ forces attempt to censor and shame our existence: values against Montclair’s sense of community. With over 150 vendors; 14,000+ neighbours and friends; and fifteen hours of entertainment (let alone a week of lead up events). The sprawling, day long festival, spans five blocks in the heart of downtown Montclair.
