We had also made a determination that we would follow the lead of outdoor event organizers like Live Nation and mandate vaccinations or negative COVID tests for any attendees. It was already clear that we were not going to be able to host the blow-out 30th year event that an anniversary year warranted, and that we should target a modest one this fall. Other prides - like Atlanta Pride - that had rescheduled their 2021 events to the fall have already cancelled. Authoritative consultants raised the spectre that we would be creating a super-spreader event. We are now beginning to get some pushback and cancellations of those who might otherwise have participated in our event this October. As the summer wound to a close, Jersey Pride was forced to confront the reality of a fall surge of the virus - courtesy of both the delta variant and a non-trivial percentage of the population eschewing vaccinations.
Jersey Pride, Inc., producers of NJ's Annual Statewide LGBTQ+ Pride Celebration, reluctantly announce that our 30th Annual LGBTQ+ Pride Celebration, held in Asbury Park, will be rescheduled from October 10th, 2021 to June 5, 2022. Save the date - June 5, 2022, in Asbury Park NJ's Annual LGBTQ Pride Celebration
