In 2018, a group of LGBTQ+ Fall River residents came together with the hopes of hosting Fall River’s first-ever Pride festival. In 2019, the first-ever Fall River Pride Fest was a resounding success. Due to the growing need for LGBTQ+ community connections, the Pride Committee has now expanded to provide Drag Storytime, Transgender Day of Remembrance Walk, Book Club and other inclusive community activities and events.
