The Pride flags on Main Street are a beautiful reflection of Port Washington’s diversity and inclusivity. Thank you to Be The Rainbow, the local LGBTQIA+ nonprofit (betherainbowinc.org) that raised the money through private donations to have the flags displayed during Pride month in agreement with the Town of North Hempstead. At the Town level, the initiative was led by Councilwoman Mariann Dalimonte. Kazan Designs donated its time to install the flags. Last year, Be The Rainbow sponsored 30 flags – this year there are more than 100 flying on Main Street. Be The Rainbow is also responsible for the hundreds of Pride lawn signs purchased by homeowners and the 2nd Annual Pride Walk and Concert on June 11, among other efforts. Thank you Be The Rainbow for highlighting Port’s true colors!
