​The Glen Rock Pride Committee promotes awareness and celebrates the mission of inclusion for LGBTQ citizens of Glen Rock and beyond by planning and executing the annual Rainbow Flag-Raising ceremony at Wilde Memorial Park on June 1 each year.

Following the ceremony, Pride in the Park featured music by DJ Joe Rush, rainbow face painting and an Allyship gallery of GRHS poetry and art (sponsored by ACGR).  ACGR's Alison Bloomfield coordinated with GRHS faculty* to make this happen.

Citizens were invited to bring a picnic lunch, camping chairs and blankets, and a celebratory attitude!
