Your support helps offsets costs of the day to bring this fun family event to town for the 15th year!!!

There is no entrance fee to come to Pride Day, so anyone can come for free to spend the day watching the shows and browsing the booths. There is a ticket booth for the amusements and children's crafts. No municipal funds are used towards Pride Day; it is funded solely by donations, sales of amusement tickets, T-shirts and raffle buttons.

Local businesses sponsor amusements and activities and donate materials, and many area businesses donate raffle prizes. When Pride Day's ending balance exceeds its expenses, we use the difference towards buying equipment the Town could not otherwise afford.

It takes over 100 people to keep Pride Day running smoothly. If you are available to help with Pride Day or if you have a group that could help us, please contact us. New sponsors and participants are always welcome. If you want to help us with Medway Pride Day, email medwayprideday-owner@yahoogroups.com or call 508-533-4628. Or, just show up and volunteer at the Business Council booth at Pride Day's main entrance.
