Pride in the Park

Join the Bloomington and Normal Public Libraries at the Miller Park Bandstand for an afternoon of fun as we celebrate National Pride Month and the LGBTQ+ community.

  • Members from the local PFLAG chapter and the Prairie Pride Coalition will be on hand to provide information.
  • The libraries will offer crafts for children and teens, a story time, and more.
  • Local food trucks will be present.

Bring chairs or a blanket and consider packing a picnic of buying lunch from a food truck to round out this fun afternoon! 

Crafts will be available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
