Stafford Township’s Pride in the Park event at Manahawkin Lake Park was rained out last month, but organizers say the show must go on, so the celebration will happen Wednesday, July 19, from 5 to 8 p.m. The public is invited to share their stories or listen to others’ and, of course, urged to wear rainbow attire. Face painting and other festive activities are in store.
Billy Wyrsch of Manahawkin founded Stafford NJ Pride as a movement to cultivate inclusion, support, acceptance and advocacy for local members of the LGBTQ+ community.
He is eager to see everyone who will come out to support the principles of love and equality.
