The Lemon Grove Branch of San Diego County Library (8073 Broadway in Lemon Grove), is hosting its second annual Pride celebration on Saturday, July 9 from noon to 3 p.m. This year’s festival celebrates lesbian and gay art, literature and music, with a lineup of musicians, activities and prizes.
“This is an exciting event for the entire community,” said Ruth Ketchum, regional principal librarian. “The San Diego County Library strongly supports the free exchange of ideas and lifelong learning through its materials, services and community-sponsored events. The annual Pride celebration is one of many such events sponsored by local communities to celebrate the diversity of life in San Diego County.”
The event features free performances by San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus Ensemble, Lisa Sanders, Mary Dolan and Tori Roze and the Hot Mess. The event also includes a gift basket raffle, henna tattoos and refreshments courtesy of Chipotle Restaurants and Starbucks. Information booths feature organizations like the Greater San Diego Business Association (GSDBA), The Center and Lambda Archives of San Diego.
“GSDBA is proud to participate in this budding Pride event,” said Matt Harding, association representative at GSDBA. “Just as the LGBT community lives in all parts of San Diego County, so should expressions of Pride be found across the area.”
The Pride celebration is free and open to the public.
