Night OUT returns to the Quakertown Civic Center this year!
Wear your pride gear and visit the businesses and organizations that support PRIDENTON!
Local businesses and organizations show their support and Pride for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community by participating in a “reverse Pride parade” where vendors and storefronts are the “floats”. Visit them! Snag swag, shop, eat, drink, and get to know some of the people who make this community so special.
A jury of community members will pick the “Best Float” and winners will be announced on our social media.
We encourage you to bring picnic blankets and lawn chairs to lounge in Quakertown Park directly adjacent to the Civic Center!
