We at Reading Pride Celebration are pleased and excited to announce
our 5th Pride Celebration from July 15th to the July 17th, the day of
the festival. This year we are estimating our attendance between 2,000
and 2,500. The entertainment proves to be the best yet with the main
stage offering continuous shows throughout the day from 11:30 AM to 5:30
PM. A second entertainment area will be located in the food court area.
Our vendors are a very important part of the festival event providing information, services and wares to the GLBT community and our allies. Each year the number of vendors participating grows with last year numbering at 75, each bring with them a uniqueness that captured the interest of the attendees.
Once again the festival will be held in Centre Park in the Centre Park Historical District in the City of Reading, PA. This little park surrounded by the charm of a Victorian neighborhood provides an intimate atmosphere under an umbrella of shade trees.
