Pride Flag Raising at Mississippi Valley Textile Museum – June 1, 2024

The Pride Flag will be raised at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum on Saturday, June 1 at 1 p.m.

The flag raising will be held in conjunction with Lanark County Wide Pride Committee’s Drive-Out Pride Parade festivities throughout the county.

It will be followed by a Community Fair in Last Duel Park at 4:30 p.m.

This year, the Lanark County Wide Pride Committee, a collaboration of Pride in Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place Pride, Smiths Falls Pride and Queer Connection Lanark chose ‘Free to Be…You & Me’ as the theme of Pride Month.

June is Pride Month, which was proclaimed by Mississippi Mills Council on May 21.
