Previous Haddon Township Pride Celebrations

2023

In 2023, we were thrilled to host the 3rd annual Haddon Township Pride Parade + Events (HT PRIDE) in celebration and support of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Our theme for 2023:

“Educate + Celebrate!”

We are committed to normalizing LGBTQIA+ families, combating stereotypes, recognizing history, and celebrating progress in LGBTQIA+ rights. Our goal is to build confidence in our LGBTQIA+ youth and support businesses as they create more inclusive organizations for their employees and customers. To achieve these goals, we have created a variety of events to create connection, show support, and share resources.

HT PRIDE PARADE + AFTER PARTY sponsored by Cooper University Healthcare

THURSDAY OCTOBER 5TH @ 6PM

The HT PRIDE PARADE + AFTER PARTY was sponsored by Cooper University Healthcare on Thursday, October 5th from 6-10 p.m. on Haddon Avenue. The parade featured LGBTQIA+ and LGBTQIA+-friendly performers, organizations, and community volunteers to cultivate another unforgettable HT PRIDE parade experience. The parade began at the corner of Crystal Lake and Haddon Avenues, and ended with music, entertainment, dancing, food, and drinks at Haddon Square.

HT PRIDE + PROGRESS COMMUNITY NIGHT sponsored by The JFK Living Team

FRIDAY OCTOBER 6TH @ 5PM

The HT PRIDE + PROGRESS COMMUNITY NIGHT was sponsored by The JFK Living Team from 5:00-9:30 p.m. at Haddon Square. The community and beyond celebrated LGBTQIA+ Pride in all forms. We celebrated the progress made by LGBTQIA+ trailblazers and learned about LGBTQIA+ history, while joined by local LGBTQIA+-friendly vendors and allies. Featured exclusively at the Community Night were Education and Celebration resources, Pride Quizzo, performances by Iris Spectre, Drag Queen Lip Sync Battles, and more!
