Special Guests: Craig and Vince from Gables!

We Belong Cape May County is proud to bring back OC Pride Fest for its third year on May 31st 2025. Starting at 9am at 6th Street and the Boardwalk, join special guests, Vince and Craig from Gables of Cape May County, for an opening ceremony and Pride Walk. It will be an honor to recognize Gables during their 30th anniversary of “doing good things for the entire community.”

Gables' admirable purpose: "to promote, secure, enhance and protect the human dignity, integrity and legal and political rights" of the LGBTQIA+ community. More specifically, it's responsible for compiling the rainbow directory and supporting LGBTQIA+ youth. We look forward to the words of wisdom that Vince and Craig will share on May 31st!
