Maine West High School Genders and Sexualities Alliance (GSA) presents the Community PRIDE Celebration

Saturday, June 4, 3 to 7 pm
Maine West High School D-wing Parking lot (see map here.)

The Maine West GSA, with support from SPEAK Des Plaines, invites LGBTQIA+ people and allies of all ages to celebrate. This event will feature family-friendly fun, live entertainment, community resources, food, crafts, games, and more. You will also find local LGBTQIA+ support organizations and Queer history exhibits.

There’s a full lineup of entertainment, from Karaoke to Poets to a Drag Show.

The goals of the event include inspiring joy and community engagement and being safe, inclusive intersectional, and family-friendly, acknowledging LGBTQIA+ people past, present, and future, and intentionally including all genders and sexualities–whether or not people are out.

Visit The Juniper Center Calming Space

The Juniper Center understands that big events can be overwhelming for some people. That’s why our clinicians are setting up a “Calming Space” where festival-goers and children can find a bit of respite and activities. And, for those who are looking for fun and stimulation. The Juniper Center is also sponsoring the Bounce House!
