Two Charleston County organizations are pulling out all of the stops to celebrate diversity with June festivities and dozens of events that the whole family can enjoy.
Park Circle Pride
Park Circle Pride will host its fifth annual Pride festival from June 3 to June 8 in North Charleston. Activities include more than 40 events with numerous family-friendly activities.
June’s celebration will be Park Circle Pride’s largest festival yet, said Simon Cantlon, producer of the event. He said Park Circle Pride brings the whole county together, regardless of someone’s identity.
“The neighborhood is so inclusive and that makes it really unique,” he said. “There’s something for everybody. As a Pride festival, we strive to be as diverse as possible.”
Be on the lookout for more pool parties, movie screenings, drag shows and much more. The majority of events are free. Among top events are: Drag Bingo, Queer Prom, Cabaret Brunch and Laser Tag. More info: parkcirclepride.com
