Pride Stroll and Socialize - Vermont
May 30, 2026 — 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm ET Last day to register: May 28, 2026
Montpelier Pride is happening the weekend of May 29-31. Come join us for a short 1 mile stroll on a beautiful well maintained universally accessible trail before meandering back for a shelter social. This event will happen rain or shine!
We'll enjoy a late afternoon out and back walk to a local landmark moving at the pace of the slowest participant. Once we are back at the shelter, fruit and seltzer will be provided as well as other simple snacks for this casual social hour before you head on to the many other fun events happening around town. Let's build Queer community!
We ask folks under the age of 18 to please register themselves and an adult to accompany them. This event is intended for the LGBTQ+ community.

Information for our land acknowledgment was gathered from nativeland.ca, which provides an estimate of original indigenous land occupation, but does not take into account migratory patterns or movement of the many surrounding communities. We recognize the historical complexity of indigenous movement across the land, and honor with gratitude the many, many surviving native nations whose land we benefit from in our work to diversify the outdoors.
