Join us as we kick off Pride Month in style at our Kick-Off Block Party – celebrating the start of the 10th Annual Berkshire Pride season!

Join us as we kick off Pride Season with a powerful Flag Raising Ceremony and an official Proclamation from Mayor Peter Marchetti, declaring June as LGBTQ+ Pride Month in Pittsfield! We’ll also present our Community Partner of the Year award (awardee to be announced soon!)

Following the ceremony, the celebration continues with a Block Party on School Street, in partnership with Hot Plate Brewing Co. and Downtown Pittsfield Inc. Expect music from DJ Pup Daddy, food, games, and community!

 Why It Matters:
In a time when LGBTQ+ rights – particularly for trans individuals -are under attack, visibility and community are more important than ever. This event is not just about celebration, but about resilience, solidarity, and strength in the face of uncertainty.

This is more than a party – it’s a celebration of love, visibility, and 10 incredible years of Berkshire Pride. 

Bring your friends, your family, allies, and your Pride spirit – let’s fill the community with joy and kick off Pride Month together!
