FiftyForward Celebrates Pride Month June brings warm summertime weather and a special chance to celebrate and recognize our neighbors especially those in the LGBTQ+ community. FiftyForward is excited to participate in this year’s Nashville Pride Festival on Saturday, June 25, 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. and Sunday, June 26, 11 a.m. -7 p.m. at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park in downtown Nashville. Look for our booth there. We will also have a presence in the parade which begins Saturday, June 25, 10 a.m. at the intersection of 8th Ave. and Broadway. Be sure to wave when you see us. And, for the first time, we are hosting a special FiftyForward Pride Party on Saturday, June 25, 1:30-3:30 p.m. at our FiftyForward Knowles Center. Join us for food, fun, and games to celebrate Nashville Pride and the older adults in the LGBTQ+ community.
In addition, we are proud to be part of the next edition of Nashville Public Television’s Aging Matters series. “Aging with Pride” premieres on June 20. Later in June, our Squeeze the Day podcast will feature an interview with Donelson Cafe and Catering’s Mark Edward Dickerson. Donelson Cafe is located at our FiftyForward Donelson Station. Mark and Chef Kevin (Miehlke) have spent nearly 40 years of their lives together and are so heartled in many of their decisions to lift up and support the community. FiftyForward sees and celebrates the differences in every person. Together we are creating a responsive community that is open, engaged, and accepting of all. Join us for events throughout the summer. We look forward to seeing YOU soon! Photo courtesy: The Tennessean
