Westporters may be proud of their town, but the town has never hosted a Pride celebration until now.  

 

Keith and Jessie Dias, owners of local curio shop and alternative healing center The Cat and Raven, are marking June as LGBTQ Pride Month by organizing the town’s first Pride festival on Sunday, June 23, from noon to 5 p.m. Admission is free. 

 

“As town residents, business owners and proud members of the LGBTQ community, Keith and I felt it was time to let our town’s pride shine,” said Jessie Dias in a statement.

 

Where is Westport’s Pride festival going to be held? 

 

It will be held rain or shine at Westport Holy Ghost Club, 171 Sodom Road.
