Throughout the month of June, The Edinburg Center continued its celebration of Pride Month by participating in both the 5th Annual Bedford Pride Celebration and the 1st Annual Lexington Pride Fair.
At each event, our team welcomed community members to our booth to learn more about the services and supports The Edinburg Center provides while celebrating the strength, diversity, and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community.
Visitors enjoyed giveaways, including bracelets, beads, stress balls, and sunglasses, but one of the highlights was our interactive de-stressing activity. Participants created their own scented sachets while learning grounding techniques that engage the senses to reduce stress and promote calm. Participants explored how the sachets smelled and felt, practicing simple mindfulness skills they can use anytime they need a moment of peace. The activity was incredibly well received and sparked many meaningful conversations about mental health and wellness.
From the festive atmosphere on the Bedford Town Common to the games, crafts, and community connections we gained at the Lexington Pride Fair, The Edinburg Center is honored to stand alongside our neighbors in celebrating inclusion, acceptance, and belonging.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, participate in our activities, and celebrate Pride with us. Together, we’re building stronger, more inclusive communities where everyone can thrive.
Happy Pride from all of us at The Edinburg Center!
