@wavynews10 — Hampton Roads Pride has postponed

@wavynews10 — Hampton Roads Pride has postponed all of its June events due to the coronavirus pandemic.

June is LGBTQ Pride Month. Hampton Roads Pride throws several annual celebrations during that time.

On Thursday, Hampton Roads Pride announced that they will postpone all of their June events due to COVID-19, including the 32nd Annual PrideFest, the 9th Annual Block Party, and the 2nd Annual Pride at the Beach.

Hampton Roads Pride is working on a plan to reschedule their events after the pandemic passes. They also announced that the theme of their 2020 celebrations is #PrideMatters. “Our Board of Directors agrees that the safest course of action is to postpone all planned Hampton Roads Pride events scheduled for this June. We are working with our partners to determine what options are available to celebrate later this year,” @colewerk , president of Hampton Roads Pride, wrote in a news release. “It is important to recognize and celebrate our Pride and we will see that through. Our community is strong, we are resilient and we believe Pride matters!” #hrpride #pridefest #pridematters @cityofnorfolkva @downtown757 @visitnorfolkva @sevenvenues #covid19 #coronavirus

SUBJECT: HAMPTON ROADS PRIDE ANNOUNCES POSTPONEMENT OF PRIDEFEST & JUNE EVENTS

The Hampton Roads Pride Board of Directors has made the difficult decision to postpone our June events including the 32nd Annual PrideFest, 9th Annual Pride Block Party and 2nd Annual Pride at the Beach scheduled for June 19-21, 2020. All other Pride Month and Pride Week celebrations will also be postponed due to COVID-19.

We are grateful for your support and share in your disappointment to not celebrate in-person this June. We ask for your patience as we work through this unprecedented situation to develop a new plan. “Our Board of Directors agrees that the safest course of action is to postpone all planned Hampton Roads Pride events scheduled for this June. We are working with our partners to determine what options are available to celebrate later this year,” said Cole Werkheiser, President of Hampton Roads Pride. “It is important to recognize and celebrate our Pride,” Werkheiser said, “and we will see that through. Our community is strong, we are resilient and we believe Pride matters!” Our 2020 theme of #PrideMatters was chosen in February and we are pleased to announce that today. This theme takes on new relevance as we confront new challenges together. We look forward to sharing more with you in the coming days and weeks about new plans to celebrate Pride in Hampton Roads this year.

We welcome you to share your thoughts below and appreciate your continued support of Hampton Roads Pride!
