 World Pride is coming to DC — and we’re keeping the celebration going right here in Holmes Run Acres!
Join us for our now-annual HRA Pride Party — a tradition that began in 2018 and has grown into a vibrant mini block party. This year, we’re spreading the love to a new spot: Laurel Court. Saturday, June 14th | 3 PM RSVP now! 🫧 Bubbles, dancing, color, and community joy 🎶 DJ Cale 🌮 Taco truck 🍦 Ice cream truck Update: Due to mechanical issues, the taco truck is no longer able to come, but there will be an ice cream truck, jello-shots, and cold water to help beat the heat and curb any hunger pains. Bring a chair, drink of choice, maybe a poncho, and your dancing shoes for an afternoon of music, fun, and community. All are welcome — families, friends, allies, and neighbors. Dress loud, proud, and colorful — and stay tuned for more details!
