The annual Reston Pride Festival will return to Lake Anne Plaza on June 1 from noon to 6 p.m.
This year’s festival will include live music, performances, and vendors. The organization will also choose an LGBTQ+ nonprofit to highlight positive work being done in the community.
Past beneficiaries include Rainbow Families, the CasaBurmar Foundation and the Pride Liberation Project, a student-led LGBTQ+ advocacy group.
“We are very excited and proud to continue the rich tradition of Pride in Reston while recognizing how fortunate we have been, especially considering how many LGBTQIA+ organizations did not survive the strain of the pandemic,” Reston Pride President Kyle Rohen said.
Rohen said the organization needs volunteers for the day of the festival and year-round.
The organization got its start in 2018 in an effort to make Reston a “truly inclusive” region by providing cultural education and resources about LGBTQIA+ history and culture.
Reston Pride is sponsored by CORE Foundation, a nonprofit that offers services for the Northern Virginia region.
