Children's Rainbow Festival   

Saturday, June 1st  

10:30am-noon 

Georgetown Neighborhood Library  

Rainbow Fest is for ALL kids to signal that their community supports them being themselves, regardless of their gender or sexuality.  Again this year, our theme will be  "Be-YOU-tiful!" and we will be encouraging kids to "Be Kind and Be-YOU-tiful!"  

For LGBTQ kids, kids who want to be allies, and kids who haven't figured that all out yet, the event signals that their families, school, and community joyfully accept their full identity- whatever that may be.  We want this to be an event for every family, not just ones that already know they have members that are LGBTQIA+.     

This event celebrating the diversity of our community will have popsicles, unicorn sprinkler, Pride bracelet making, rainbow obstacle course, tattoo station, mask making, bubbles, music, and more!

The festival will kick off with a Sidewalk Children's Pride Parade.  

To take part in the parade, come early to line up at 10:20, the parade will begin at 10:30.    

10:20 Line up at the Georgetown Library Driveway

10:30 Parade around the block, ending at the Children's Rainbow Festival behind the library. 

Ready to parade? Bring your own homemade Pride posters, or carry one of our mini Pride flags in the parade.  

Dressing in rainbow wear, a fun costume, or however you feel most fabulous is encouraged!

Schools and other children's groups in the area are invited to march together and represent their community in the parade.  We appreciate the help of students from Duke Ellington School of the Arts  in planning and hosting this event.  

If you have an questions or concerns about this event, please contact us!  

We hope to see you soon at the library!
