      • A Message from Delmarva Pride Center Board of Directors

        Thank you to the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of community members and allies that showed their support of the Delmarva LGBTQ+ community during Pride. The second annual Delmarva Pride Festival weekend was a vibrant event filled with cultural music, art, food trucks, - and most importantly - joy and hope.

        This celebration created a safe and inclusive space for us all to express our authentic selves, embrace our identities, and affirm our belonging within Delmarva. Vendor spaces sold out weeks before the festival began and welcomed a wait list, with over 100 businesses and nonprofit organizations showing their support for and with the LGBTQ+ community. Friday and Saturday were filled with talented performers and their support crews. Read more about them here.

         

        A significant appreciation is owed to the people that made the logistics of such a large weekend of activities possible: the volunteers who planned and operated each event, and the sponsors that provided the financial or in-kind support to secure everything that was required. Scroll down to see the 2023 sponsors.

         

        Delmarva Pride Center would like to extend the following thanks for this year’s events:  

        • The Avalon Theatre and ArtBar 2.0 for the opportunity to rent their beautiful spaces, Black Water Bakery for catering Sunday Brunch, and Cult Classic Brewing Company for providing their space to appreciate our volunteers for a well-deserved relaxing evening. 
        • Academy Art Museum, and their partners Building African American Minds (BAAM) and the Frederick Douglass Honor Society, for sharing the food court and downtown community space to hold Delmarva Pride Festival in conjunction with Juneteenth 2023.  
        • The Town of Easton Mayor and Council and Easton Economic Development Corporation for coordinating with Delmarva Pride Center to promote such a large and successful event for their constituents.
        • A special thank you to the Easton Police Department for collaborating with the Delmarva Pride Center throughout the planning and event to help create a welcoming and safe environment.
           
        • Maryland Governor Wes Moore and his Office of Community Initiatives Commission on LGBTQ Affairs for this year’s citation in recognition and appreciation of Delmarva Pride Center’s services and community support. 

        Delmarva Pride Center is excited to continue providing opportunities to be out in public with our peers, creating visibility, and driving progress towards a more inclusive and accepting society.
