Hampshire Pride’s 4th annual Pride Parade
Hampshire Pride’s annual Pride Parade returns to downtown Northampton, beginning at 11am at Sheldon Field and moving along Route 9 and Main Street before dispersing near Crafts Avenue. Public gatherings like Pride help communities make belonging visible through shared celebration and civic presence. Northampton’s Pride traditions reach back to 1982, shaped in part by the wider history of LGBTQ+ activism that followed Stonewall. Watching or joining the parade offers a chance to reflect on local organizing, creative expression, and the many ways communities create space for joy across generations.
