HAMPTON, Va. — The 7th Annual Pride Party on the Peninsula "Phabulous Phoebus Street Festival" is coming back to Hampton.
Pride Month is every June and commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York.
Hampton is celebrating the month with performances, beer and food vendors, small local businesses, and community enrichment as well as booths to learn about LGBTQ-focused community organizations.
It's being held this Saturday from 1 to 6 p.m. on historic Mellen Street, and it's free and open to the public.
Made in part by Hampton Roads Pride, the Phoebus Partnership, Hampton Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, ESTI Health Clinic, and the Hampton Convention & Visitor Bureau, the festival is being hosted by musician and activist K'bana Blaw with musical headliner and "powerhouse vocalist" Jayye Michael performing.
Organizers say they still need volunteers for the event. You can sign up online here.
Hampton Roads Pride has a full calendar of pride events on its site.
