Portsmouth Pride is a youth-based, family-friendly, and community-wide celebration, celebrating our seventh year.
Here’s what we’ve got planned:
MARCH: Marchers will convene at Market Square at noon to gather. Beginning at 12:30pm, we will march together through downtown Portsmouth arriving at Strawbery Banke (destination for the remainder of the Pride Program) at approximately 1:00pm
MARKETPLACE: The Pride Marketplace features booths from local non-profit organizations and family-friendly vendors. We also have food trucks serving up some of the best casual eats on the Seacoast. The Pride Marketplace will be open at Strawbery Banke from 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm on Saturday, June 25.
MAINSTAGE: Features speakers and musical artists (both local and from afar) take to the stage. Bring your lawn chair and enjoy an afternoon of incredible music.
