For the third year in a row, the City of Berwyn is preparing for their annual Pride Walk along Berwyn’s historic Depot District on Saturday, June 29, 2019. The family friendly event aims to celebrate the growing LGBTQ+ community, as well as the thriving diversity in Berwyn. Participants will meet at the James Joyce Irish Pub (7138 W Windsor Ave) at 2:00pm and will march along the Depot District with a ceremonial gathering at Karasek Park (6844 W Windsor Ave). There will be an after party at Lavergne’s Tavern (6546 W Windsor Ave) following the march. What started off as a small gathering of 20 residents in 2017, the Pride Walk has quickly grown to over 300 hundred LGBTQ+ members and allies in 2018.  For more information, follow the Pride Walk event on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/events/2594138280813139/) and the BUNGALO Pride in the Park Picnic event on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/events/2337889303122083/).
