Hello Sharon Pride Car Parade friends!

Thanks so much for signing up for the 6th annual Sharon Pride Car Parade June 1, 2025. We're excited to roll through Sharon with you!

Here's info you will need to participate. The list is long and detailed out of concern for your well-being. Let's show our Pride—and our care for one another!

• Because Pride has its origins in an uprising against injustice consider displaying positive and family-friendly support for racial justice, faith communities, LGBTQ+ youth, and transgender rights.

• In order to manage parking lot traffic, please arrive 30 minutes early for line up, starting at around 11:30 a.m.

• Note that we will start and finish at Memorial Beach, at which point the Sharon Pride Festival will continue with bandstand and lawn events.

• Decorations must not obscure vision or otherwise impair driving.

• Please leave the beach, lawn, lot, and route as you found them. Remove all trash. Confetti, glitter, and other projectiles are not permitted. (We know, we love glitter, too. Sorry! We also love our lake and we don’t want swag and plastic in Lake Massapoag)

• Obey all traffic laws. We should be led by the SPD and can follow in procession without delay, but if you somehow lose the group, please obey traffic laws as safety dictates. Spectating is encouraged, but please use common sense and observe pedestrian safety laws.

• Restrooms may not be available during the event. Plan accordingly.

• The event will be held rain or shine. Plan accordingly.

• In-person congregation along the parade route is encouraged!

• By participating in the Sharon Pride Car Parade and Sharon Stage Events at Memorial Beach you agree not to hold Sharon Pride Steering Committee or the Town of Sharon liable for any danger or risk involved in said activities.

Thank you so much for joining us to mark Pride 2025! We look forward to spreading joy and awareness with you! For more details about the event go to lgbtqplussharon.org.
