Carrboro Orgullo Pride Celebration

The Town of Carrboro is joining with El Centro Hispano to host the Carrboro Orgullo Pride Celebration from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, June 14, at Carrboro Town Commons, 301 W. Main St.

There will be food trucks, dancing (of course!) and tables with resources, support and advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community. Enjoy food trucks, drag shows, music, and crafts for the kids.

A tradition that occurs before the festival is the Pride Piper Walk, which will start this year from El Centro Hispano, 201 W. Weaver Street. People will march together to the festival at Carrboro Town Commons. Meet at El Centro Hispano at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, June 14. Join local officials to help roll Rainbow Ram down Weaver Street to Town Commons for the celebration.

The Carrboro Orgullo Pride Celebration is a space to celebrate and share the diverse cultures, identities, and experiences of the local Latinx LGBTQ community. Organizers from El Centro Hispano are collaborating with the Town of Carrboro to bring an event that fosters unity, inclusivity, and empowerment by showcasing our community’s talents while providing social, healthcare, and advocacy resources, and family fun.

This event is part of Chapel Hill-Carrboro Small Town Pride, which aims to promote the equality of the LGBTQIA+ communities, as well as increase visibility, challenge anti-LGBTQ legislation, and bring awareness to other LGBTQ issues. Progress for true equality requires the support of everyone, including straight allies who know that support for LGBTQ+ people strengthens the entire community.
