Calling all LGBTQIA+ folks in the area and their allies
Let's hangout, celebrate, and paddle down the river in solidarity (or cheer on others from the bridge or the banks). The current political landscape is messy and unpredictable; let's gather and celebrate the wonderful diversity of humanity and our community. This lighthearted escape from harsh social and political realities will feature music and snow cones before those interested embark on a parade-style float down the river from the Waverly Area Veteran's Post down to Kohlmann Park.

Why
Why
Feeling and showing pride in who you are is critical to positive self-identity. Pride events help those who feel marginalized experience the support of their community and serve to combat the toxic messaging on social media and otherwise. The Waverly Human Equity and Diversity Commission is committed to fostering a culture of belonging for all citizens of Waverly. This is one way to send a message to queer folks that they are seen, loved, and embraced.
