The Town of Chapel Hill’s LGBTQIA+ Employee Resource Group (ERG) helped plan the event. Matt DeBellis, an ERG member, says, “While this is only the second year for this event, it has already become something that the community looks forward to. This year, we helped bring several ally organizations to the Promenade, including Equality NC and the UNC LGBTQ Center.”
More than a thousand people attended the inaugural Promenade in 2022. We expect another large crowd this year.
