Saturday, June 17 from 9 a.m. – Noon | Foothills Nature Preserve
Celebrate queer joy outside this pride month. This year's rains have our creeks flowing, flowers blooming, and our ecosystems of all sorts thriving. During this walk, you will discover the beauty of our local biodiversity by moving between grassland, forest, chaparral, and creekside corridor ecosystems all in a short time. Attendees should expect to walk 3 - 4 miles at a slow to moderate pace on gravel and dirt trails, which may be muddy. This event is for people who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community.
Tuesday, June 27 from 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. | Children's Library
Celebrate Pride Month with Palo Alto City Libraries by making a rainbow wand! Show your support for the LGBTQ+ community while also making a fun craft that you can play with all year long! This craft is best for children 4 and up. Registration required.
Although June is recognized as Pride Month, Queer stories exist every day and are celebrated through the writing and art of diverse storytellers and artists. Check out these titles that share these stories through vulnerability, rethinking tradition, and more!
