About us
The Cape Ann Pride Coalition (founded in 2023) seeks to foster a greater sense of community--and fun!--among all the LGBTQIA+ members of Greater Cape Ann (Essex, Gloucester, Ipswich, Manchester, Rockport) and our family Allies so that we can learn from each other, celebrate each other, support each other, and plan for a great future for our diverse community here on Cape Ann. We invite all residents of or workers on Cape Ann to join our recurring events (some will be 21+, some will be for LGBTQIA+ folx only) for casual conversations, some outings, meeting new friends, deepening old friendships, and seeing the community power of #CapeAnnPride.
