Join us as we honor the people who began this great Pride movement in Albuquerque for our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer/questioning (LGBTIQ) community. This year’s Candlelight Vigil will be a remembrance of our past 40 years and a celebration of our diversity; creating a future in unity and love. Experience an evening of community, sharing and music. This is a free event where nearly 500 people gathered last year. Morningside Park is an important part of our local LGBTIQ history. This park is where the first Pride March in 1976 started and many Pride events took place. Here is the place where, before the advent of Internet and mobile communications, we came together to meet one another and to find out that we were not alone. The City of Albuquerque has honored our movement and our people by dedicating two metal art sculptures and presenting corresponding plaques. These sculptures and plaques are permanent to Morningside Park and have become the third place in our nation to commemorate the LGBTIQ movement. EVENT DETAILS: Morningside Park Morningside Dr SE & Lead Ave SE Thursday, June 9th 7:30pm Vigil
