Hull Pride is proud to celebrate the successful unveiling of the Kenberma Rainbow Crosswalk, a vibrant symbol of inclusivity and community spirit. Located at the intersection of Nantasket Avenue and Kenberma Street, the crosswalk was unveiled on May 29 with a joyful event at Scoops featuring rainbow sundaes, snacks, and live music.

“To have the town’s support of such a visible symbol of the gay, lesbian, trans, and queer community at such a prominent location sends a powerful message: Hull is a place where ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’ isn’t just lip service – it’s our way of life,” said Hull Pride board member Jason McCann.

Looking ahead, Hull Pride is also highlighting this weekend’s flagship event, “Hull Pride: Freedom by the Sea,” on Saturday, June 7 at the Hull Yacht Club from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. The free, family-friendly festival will feature live music from local musician Lindsey Buck with special guests (including a past Hull Pride scholarship awardee), speeches from local and state leaders, a Chappel Roan-inspired set by Boston drag performer Missy Steak and a DJ dance party with live requests. Aside from the performances, there will be tarot readings, face painting, coloring and the Such Fun Photo Booth for group photos and selfies. Delicious food will be available for purchase from Mom on the Go Food Truck, the Lobster Stop, and Scoops Ice Cream. While the event is free, donations are encouraged and there will be a cash-only bar for guests.

“Hull Pride: Freedom by the Sea is our way of bringing the community together to honor love, identity, and the freedom to be oneself,” said Hull Pride board President Beth Landgraf. “We’re excited to gather with friends, family, and neighbors this weekend for a day of unity and pride.”
