NBC 5 invites you to join the celebration during Pride in Bloom at The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden June 10 and 11. The event returns for a 2nd year with a full weekend of LGBTQ+ artisans, entertainers, chefs and small businesses. Guests are invited to shop items at the curated vendor market, pack or purchase a picnic, listen to the live entertainment and enjoy Gary Lee Price’s Great Contributors’ bronze exhibition.
David Sassano, Dallas Arboretum Pride in Bloom chair and board member, said, “Pride in Bloom’s mission is to highlight the unique and exceptional contribution of local LGBTQ+ artisans, entertainers and chefs in a weekend event for all community members to enjoy in an effort to build lasting partnerships in our garden. People can bring their own picnic or purchase a picnic and settle in to the Dallas Voice’s Reader’s Voice award winner for Best Public Space, for a day of celebrating with friends and family.”
In addition, the Dallas Arboretum transforms the Pecan Grove with dozens of colorful ribbon chandeliers, the site of a community picnic celebration. Mural artist Brooke Chaney (known by her artist name MOM) returns for an interactive mural experience.
