Knaresborough will see a festival of inclusivity next month, when Pride Party in the Park returns for another year.
The event, which is intended as a family-friendly "celebration of individuality, creativity, kindness and community”, is organised by Yorkshire CREATE, the Knaresborough-based community arts organisation.
A spokesperson said:
This inclusive event is designed to bring people of all ages, identities and backgrounds together in a safe, colourful and welcoming outdoor space.
Centred around the values of self-expression, acceptance and support for others, Pride Party in the Park invites families, friends, neighbours and local businesses to celebrate what makes each of us unique and what connects us all as a community.
Yorkshire CREATE wants everyone in Knaresborough to feel they have a place to be themselves and to celebrate the diversity that makes our community so strong.
The event will feature live music, face painting, storytime sessions, arts and crafts, food and drink, and – say the organisers – “lots of rainbows”.
This event is enabled by Eventure, Knaresborough's initiative to promote free, public cultural events. It is also supported by David Skaith, Mayor of York and North Yorkshire, and funded by York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority as part of the Vibrant and Sustainable High Streets Fund.
Pride Party in the Park will be held at The Kingfisher Kiosk in Conyngham Hall on Saturday, June 6 from 1 till 4pm.
