Pride Ride
pride ride at the wildflower
The Wildflower is excited to announce its upcoming Pride Ride event, taking place on June 10th from noon to 5 pm. This event promises to be an exciting celebration of diversity and inclusion, featuring raffles, food, live music, and plenty of opportunities to make new connections.
One of the main highlights of the event is the Pride Ride itself,
which will start at noon and conclude at around 2:30 pm. Participants will have the option of choosing between a 10-mile mountain bike ride on the scenic trails throughout Burke on Kingdom Trails or a 20-mile gravel ride that will take them on a tour of the town. For those who prefer to take a more leisurely pace, there will also be a Pride Walk, which will provide a great opportunity to explore Darling Hill and take in the beautiful views of The Wildflower.
Following the ride, the after-party will take place at The Wildflower from 2 pm to 5 pm. Guests will be treated to live music by Rangus, a Queer Punk Rock band from Burlington, and a special guest speaker, John Killacky, former Vermont State Representative and Executive Director of the Flynn Center for Performing Arts. Local LGBTQ+ businesses and artists will also be showcasing their work, and there will be a raffle with a unique blend of queer culture and the NEK, with all donations going to Pride Center VT.
The Wildflower is committed to creating a welcoming environment for everyone, and the Pride Ride is a fantastic opportunity to showcase local LGBTQ+ people and support a great cause. By bringing together outdoor recreation and community support, this event is a perfect example of how we can celebrate diversity and promote inclusivity in our communities. Whether you are an avid cyclist or simply looking for a fun and meaningful way to celebrate Pride Month, The Wildflower's Pride Ride promises to be a memorable event. We hope you can join us for this exciting celebration of diversity, community, and inclusion!
