Pride Month takes place each June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. Following the initial riots during that fateful summer, marches, parades and demonstrations have been held every year since to commemorate the watershed moment for LGBTQ+ rights.
While June is flying by, there are still a number of Pride-related happenings taking place throughout the region. Check out these events around the Main Line to celebrate!

This Pride Month, Rosa Mexicano in Ardmore is raising a glass in support of the LGBTQ+ community with its newest limited-time cocktail, The Rosa Sol — a bright, refreshing twist on a margarita made with Casa Del Sol Blanco, muddled strawberries, mint, lemon, agave and a splash of soda. A portion of sales from the cocktail will be donated to The Trevor Project, which is dedicated to suicide prevention in non-heterosexual youth.
