  • Absolutely nothing!

  • Pottstown Area Pride is being organized primarily by a coalition of three local affirming churches (Shenkel UCC, First Baptist, and Open Table UCC). It is taking place on Shenkel's property, but it is not a religious event, you will not have to enter a church building, and no one will attempt to evangelize to you without your consent.

  • There is ample on-site parking.

  • Bobby Jo Valentine is a singer songwriter whose music exists outside the lines of any genre, but the music’s thoughtful, spirit focused lyrics and catchy melodies reach listeners across all walks of life. The poetic nature and spiritual focus of his stories and songs has resulted in notable awards and a growing, loyal following around the country. He’s found a voice with original, hopeful songs about the gentle everyday spiritual awakenings of an openhearted life.

    Growing up and emerging out of a Baptist Church of strict lines and sharp edges, Bobby Jo Valentine has emerged into a larger, kinder, more welcoming faith…one that is excited to learn, open to growth, and focused on love.

  • We're keeping it fairly simple, and offering hotdogs, vegan dogs, soft pretzels, popcorn, snacks, and water.

  • If you're coming for the concert, make sure to bring your own lawn chair or blanket as we will be out in the field for that part. Otherwise, just bring your beautiful self, and that is more than enough!

  • If you are a vendor or work for an organization who would like to have a table, they are free for non-profits, and only $25 for those who are selling items. If you would like to volunteer, click here to sign up and someone will be in touch with you shortly.
