On June 16 and June 17, Be The Rainbow Inc. hosted its third annual Chalk the Walk and Pride Walk and Festival to celebrate Pride Month this June. On Friday, June 16, Be The Rainbow Inc. people shared their creativity and drew with chalk on Bay Walk Path in preparation for the Pride Walk and Festival on Saturday, June 17.
Be The Rainbow Inc. is a Port Washington-based group of queer parents and allies that promote the celebration of self-affirmation, equality and visibility for the LGBTQIA+ community.
Children, families and local organizations came to Bay Walk Path to create beautiful artwork and write inspiring quotes for participants to enjoy during the Pride Walk the next day.
The Pride Walk and Festival began at Bay Walk Path and ended at the John Phillip Sousa Bandshell for the festival portion of the day. The band at the Sousa Bandshell this year was Sunshine and The Fox, a queer band based out of Brooklyn. Be The Rainbow had a marketplace set up with local vendors.
