Out In The Park is a Gay Day event organized by a nonprofit organization.
We are a dedicated group of unity-minded people that are interested in creating events that
are fun, all-ages,
social opportunities for the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning,
Intersex and Allies community to Get OUT with their friends and family.
The events that we plan and organize are warm-up events to National Coming Out Day on October 11th.
Our first event, Out In The Park, was held on Saturday, September 27, 1997,
at what was then known as Riverside Park (now Six Flags New England).
The focus of the events we plan and organize, is to foster a sense of pride, dignity and unity
among the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning and intersex community and their
allies through social and cultural events to promote diversity, visibility, awareness and
acceptance throughout the New England region.
Since 1997, we have continued to plan and organize not only a Gay
Day at Six Flags New England, but based on attendees' requests, have added other "Gay Days"
at a variety of locations throughout the New England area.
All of these events are held in public venues and are open to the public.
The emphasis is always on fun, all-ages, social events.
In 2004, Out In The Park will celebrate it's 8th year as THE Gay Day in New England,
and the 2nd year as the OFFICIAL Gay Day at Six Flags New England!
Only this year, we begin to take Out In The Park to a whole new level, as we hold our first
festival in the 10 acre River's Edge Picnic Grove, with GLBT entertainers and vendors from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
Park open 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
