John McElhenny submits: The First Cape Ann Pride Weekend was Crazy Fun

Put it in the books! The first ever Cape Ann Pride Weekend took place this past weekend with events in Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester and Essex to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and culture on Cape Ann. People danced and laughed and bowled and made art and picknicked and raised Pride flags in three different towns. Here are some pictures of the fun below. Weโ€™re already looking forward to Cape Ann Pride Weekend 2025!
