Let me be perfectly queer: Seekonk Throws a Great Pride

This Sunday, June 14th, was Seekonk’s third annual Pride event, and I was fortunate enough to attend this year. Located behind the Newman YMCA in Seekonk, the space was welcoming and cozy. Many vendors showed up in support, who deserve to be shouted out:

• Attleboro Community Theatre

• Community Counseling of Bristol County

• Congregation Agudas Achim

• Foster MA - Massachusetts DCF 

• Free Mom Hugs- Massachusetts

• Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England

• Haus of Codec

• Newman Congregational church 

• Osamequin Farm

• PFLAG Attleboro

• Seekonk Congregational Church

• South Coastal Counties Legal Services 

• Women's Fund SouthCoast

Seekonk Pride also hosted many amazing performers that I was fortunate to catch. Here is a list of the amazing performers:

• Catnip Junkies

• New England Witches Guild

• Aba

• Coastline Show Chorus

• Cool Beverages

• Field of Embers

• Kelsea Guidice

• Ivy Amore 

Let’s not forget the food! Barrels and Boards Food Truck served up some delicious food like mac and cheese and Mini Candied Bacon Skewers. Palagi’s ice Cream served up delicious ice cream and frozen lemonade, which was the perfect treat in the summer sun. A+ Kettlecorn served Kettlecorn. The kettlecorn was a sweet and delicious treat. Last but not least, The Old Grist Mill Tavern served slices of its world-famous rainbow cake. Not only was the food great, but we also got to watch wrestling matches and take part in a raffle for amazing prizes. The wrestling was amazing and incredibly entertaining for all ages. Overall, Seekonk Pride was definitely a great experience. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. Volunteers welcomed us as soon as we walked onto the grounds. They floated around the venue and made us feel so welcome. I can’t wait to come back next year. Seekonk Pride- thank you so much for having me!
