🏳️🌈 Pride Picnic in the Park 🌳
Part of Reading Pride's 20th Anniversary Celebration Series
Before Berks Pride Fest filled Jim Dietrich Park with thousands of people, Pride in Berks County had a home in Centre Park.
This August, we're returning to where it all began.
Join us for a relaxed afternoon of food, friendship, laughter, and community as we celebrate our roots and thank the Centre Park neighborhood that welcomed Pride and helped our festival grow into what it is today. While we've outgrown the park, it will always be part of our story—and part of our home.
📅 Saturday, August 15, 2026
🕒 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM
🌧 Rain Date: Sunday, August 16
✨ Community potluck picnic (bring a dish if you're able!)
✨ Live magic by Joel Delgado
✨ Reading Pride Ambassador Justice and former Ambassador Miss Amie (or Rainbow) will be there working their magic
✨ Family-friendly games, conversation, and community
Admission is FREE! We simply invite you to bring a dish to share if you're able. Most importantly, bring yourself, bring a friend, and help us celebrate twenty years of Pride in Berks County.
🪑 Don't forget your lawn chair or blanket!
ℹ️ Please note:
• Centre Park does not have public restroom facilities.
• Street parking is available around the park as space permits.
From our first Pride gatherings to today's Berks Pride Fest, every chapter of our story matters. We can't wait to celebrate this special homecoming with you. ❤️🏳️🌈
