Cooperstown To Celebrate Pride with Main Street Block Party

COOPERSTOWN—Cooperstown Pride and the Otsego Pride Alliance invite community members and visitors alike to support equality and celebrate diversity on Monday, August 11 at the Cooperstown Pride Block Party. Now in its second year, the event will take place from 5-8 p.m. at Pioneer Park, on the corner of Main and Pioneer streets.

According to a press release issued on July 28, last year’s block party raised more than $1,400.00 to support Cooperstown Central School’s Identity Alliance in what organizers hail as a powerful testament to what a united community can achieve.

“At Cooperstown Central School, the Identity Alliance is committed to building an inclusive and celebratory space where LGBTQ+ students, allies, and all young people feel seen, valued, and safe,” said Rebecca Burk-Sciallo, co-advisor of the Identity Alliance.
