3rd Annual Pride Celebration In Mercer County On June 3

MERCER COUNTY, NJ — The third annual Celebration of Pride in Robbinsville is scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 3 at PJ’s Pancake House & Tavern.

The Pride celebration will take place from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Robbinsville Pride celebrates the local LGBTQ+ community and its allies and recognizes the impact of LGBTQ+ individuals locally and beyond. It also acknowledges the challenges faced by this community historically and currently.

The celebration is hosted by the Robbinsville Democratic Club.

Robbinsville Pride will include speakers from Robbinsville High School’s Genders and Sexualities Alliance, followed by music, celebration, and light food and beverages.

The event is for all ages, but attendees must be 21 or older to drink.

“We’re experiencing a turbulent time for the LGBTQ+ community — specifically for LGBTQ+ youth and our transgender friends and neighbors — and this event is a reminder that they are celebrated, welcome, and have local support right here in Robbinsville,” Amanda Gruber, vice president of the Robbinsville Democratic Club and chair of the Pride Event Committee said in a statement.

“The Democratic Club may be sponsoring and coordinating Robbinsville Pride, but it’s important to remember that this isn’t a political event, and our LGBTQ+ neighbors are not up for political debate. We see them, we affirm them, and we support them.”

The event is funded by local and corporate philanthropy and the Pride Event Committee is currently fundraising with a limited edition t-shirt, and seeking local corporate sponsors who wish to contribute. Current event sponsors include Aztec Graphics, Big Fin SEO, Vitale Inspection Services, and Wawa.
