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.
