By J.D. O’Gara
Medway Pride Day will take
place this year on Saturday, May
18, 2019 from 10 a.m. to 4: p.m. at
the Medway Middle School (45
Holliston Street). In the event of
severe weather, Medway Pride
Day will be cancelled. Each year,
over 2,000 attend the event.
“This is our 25th year of
Medway Pride day, it’s kind of
a big deal,” says Sarah Stone, in
her fourth year on the 5-member
Medway Pride Day Committee,
comprised of volunteers.
“We’re adding a bunch of different
activities and bringing a lot
of other businesses. (About 60
booths are expected, and there’s
still time to sign up for a booth at
$60.) There’s going to be a fitness
class on the field, we’re bringing

back the Frisbee dogs, and we’re
bringing back Henry the Juggler.
He was such a good sport, we
had to relocate him under a tent
last year in the rain.”
Something new this year will
be an indoor arts expo.
“We wanted to bring in more
of the community spirit and really
celebrate all the artists in
town,” says Stone. Artists and
other community members,
such as Girl Scouts, will not only
display their crafts, but will also
demonstrate them.
Stone says Medway Pride
will also feature a cornhole
tournament this year, and the
Hockomock YMCA will join
the festivities with their inflatable
Gaga ball pit. Starr and
Glick Orthodontics will sponsor
a free photo booth, and Boston

Children’s Hospital will bring
their bloodmobile to host a blood
drive.
Medway residents will also
work together to create a flower
pot garden.
“We’re asking residents to
decorate a flower pot, and then
we’ll do a flower pot garden of
decorated flower pots to be displayed
at Pride Day,” says Stone.
Of course, Medway Pride
Day wouldn’t be the same without
starting with the Bike Parade,
in which kids can show off their
decorated bikes on the track. If
your elementary school child
would like to participate in the
bike parade, please email Shannon
Warfield, shannondoesevents@gmail.com
