ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Members of Rochester LGBTQ+ Together held their second annual Pride Day at the Beach event at Ontario Beach Park Saturday to kick off ROC Pride Month.

The event featured arts and crafts, a community organization fair, music and entertainment, as well as some tabletop and lawn games.

Organizers said that those attending the event were able to purchase tickets for their pride basket and raffles.

“So far, it’s wonderful,” said Director of Rochester LGBTQ+ Together Braden Reese. “People of all ages, races, ethnicities, backgrounds, and gender identities are just kind of hanging out and building a community here at the beach.”

Members said that 2022 is the 50th anniversary year of pride celebrations in Rochester.

Officials from Rochester LGBTQ+ Together are also planning to host a “Pop-Up Pride Day” event at Seabreeze on July 9.
