Food trucks, a DJ playing music, games for kids and a couple of local celebrities are planned for Park Ridge’s first Pride Fest Thursday, June 20 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Prospect and Crescent Avenues.
The family-friendly event will feature face-painting, friendship bracelets, hair extensions, Pride merchandise and tables where children can do crafts and activities, Hill said. Other tables will provide information about organizations providing support and resources for LGBTQia+ children, adults, and teens.
