Frederick Pride 2022!
2022-03-17 20:00
10th Annual! Free admission. For booth rental or garage parking info see website : https://frederickpride.org
FREDERICK PRIDE 2022 ENTERTAINMENT
SCHEDULE – TBA
Frederick Pride is celebrating its 10th year in 2022! This year’s festival takes place Saturday, June 25, 2022, from 11 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., at Carroll Creek Linear Park in beautiful, historic downtown Frederick. This year we are anticipating thousands to be in attendance!
Be part of the action! We have booth spaces for for-profit organizations and table space for non-profits. The main stage will be at the amphitheater, near the Carroll Street entrance. A second entertainment area will be at the opposite end of the park near Market Street. The festival will extend all the way down the creek to East Street this year, with children’s activities! Attendee admittance is free. Families and allies welcome; this is a community event!
The crowd loves downtown, with many newcomers making their first visit to Frederick specifically because of this event. All attendees receive a Frederick Pride rainbow bracelet from welcome stations at each major entry to the park. Businesses can sign up to offer discounts/specials to anyone wearing one of these bracelets; this is our “Buy Pride” program and is free to any area business. Be known as an ally. Corporate sponsors are also sought to name various parts of the festival with your company banner.
There will be bands, drag shows, DJ, dancing, and more live acts at the amphitheater. At the Market Street venue there will be smaller acts, drag performances, DJ, dancing, and more. There will be organized youth group activities in the area near East Street as well as fun for the younger kids. The program will be full — there is no way to see it all. The food court will be located above the amphitheater, with the beer and wine area next to it. Be sure to visit the official TFC Pride merchandise booth at the top of the amphitheater for all your Pride paraphernalia: shirts, flags, and more! Proceeds support all the programs of our local LGBTQ community center.

Sign up and checkout will occur onsite the day of the event. Bring your questions and an open mind.

Benefit Dinner in Support of the Candace C.W. Antwine Service Award Friday
2022-03-09 19:00
Benefit Dinner in Support of the Candace C.W. Antwine Service Award
Friday, April 29, 2022 at 6:00 pm
This award aims to elevate AACPS graduates who enlist to serve our country in the military by assisting with the costs of the basic training packing list. This is the only award of its kind in the region. It’s a common misconception that everything is paid for when one enlists to serve. This is simply not the case. The packing sheet and costs of supplies whilst participating in basic training can add up to several hundred dollars. It’s past time we elevate those students who elect to enlist after graduation.
If you know of any AACPS students who are thinking of enlisting after graduation application materials and deadlines can be found at www.aacps.org/ServiceAward.
