BELLOWS FALLS-Throughout the month of June, Bellows Falls will once more become a destination for the LGBTQ+ community in New England and beyond.
Pride Month remembers the days of the historic Andrews Inn, which was in business from 1973 to 1984 and located in the downtown Windham Hotel building. The gay community sought out Bellows Falls as a place of safety and security.
In memory and honor of beloved community leader Susan MacNeil, the Bellows Falls Pride Movie Festival will once again be featuring LGBTQ+-themed films at the historic Bellows Falls Opera House. With the largest screen in the region and where tickets are still only $6, join BF Pride Wednesdays, June 3 for The Hours and June 24 for Victor/Victoria.
The annual Pride Whistlestop Tour once again will be held Sunday, June 14, with a celebration at the BF train station at 12:30 p.m.
“From St. Albans to Brattleboro, LGBTQ+ organizations, individuals and allies will appear at each of the 10 Amtrak Vermonter stations to show support and love for the LGBTQ+ communities in our state,” wrote organizers in a news release. “As the Vermonter heads south, each station will cheer, wave Pride flags, and display our pride in ourselves, our community and our welcoming state.”
After the train stop, dance the afternoon away with the LGBTQ+ community, join old friends, and meet new ones at Fallsland’s monthly Sunday T-Dance at Ciao Popolo on the Bellows Falls square.
Keep up to date on Pride events on social media and at the Bellows Falls Pride website.
