Tehachapi’s Pride 2020 Planning Committee intends to hold its third annual Tehachapi Pride Picnic as usual this year only as and when circumstances permit. The picnic will once again take place in Philip Marx Central Park on East E Street in Tehachapi.

The organizers hope to raise awareness of and build fellowship among the members of Tehachapi’s LGBTQ+ community and their friends, families and allies. Attendees will be requested to bring a picnic lunch, non-alcoholic drinks, chairs or blankets and outdoor games.

As usual, this will be a family-friendly, inclusive community event. The organizers request attendees help leave the park as we find it, and co-create a family-friendly and civil event. In these difficult times, members of the planning committee look forward to a time when we may gather safely and again build community face-to-face. In the meantime, we encourage all Californians to observe social distancing, and only venture out for essential errands.

For questions about the event, the public may contact tehachapipride@yahoo.com.
