Join the Highland Park Borough Human Relations Commission, as we unite as a community, standing in solidarity and celebration this Monday, June 26, where the festivities kick off at 5:30pm with a vibrant Pride March. We'll gather at the corner of North 3rd and Raritan and embark on a journey that will culminate at the Highland Park Community Center. For the safety of everyone, please remember to march on the sidewalk and adhere to all traffic regulations.

At 6:00pm, we will come together for the much-anticipated Human Relations Commission's Annual Pride Flag Raising ceremony and gather in the spirit of love, support, and respect.

We are honored to host a lineup of speakers who will share their insights and experiences. Join us in welcoming Norma Vargas, Chair of the Human Relations Commission, Talia Rosen, President of the Rutgers Jewish Allies & Queers Club (JAQs), Caitlin Dean, HPPD LGBTQ Liaison, and Erick Stark.

Don't forget to wear your most vivid and vibrant colors, proudly display your flags, and don your brightest smiles. Let's create an atmosphere filled with love and acceptance.  

Spread the word far and wide, and extend an invitation to your friends, family, and colleagues. Together, let's make this event a true testament to the power of community and inclusivity.
