Norristown, PA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/24/2024 --Elmwood Park Zoo is thrilled to announce its first annual Pride Celebration on Saturday, June 29th, from 10 AM to 4 PM. This family-friendly and inclusive event is designed to celebrate Pride Month and promote a message of love and acceptance within the community.
The celebration features a plethora of engaging activities suitable for all ages. Visitors can immerse themselves in the festivities with a rainbow hand-painting craft and enrichment activities that promise to be fun and creative. Throughout the afternoon, live music will fill the air, setting a joyous tone for the day, and Zoo Brew will serve up signature drinks to keep guests refreshed. For those looking to cool off, a waterslide awaits, adding an extra splash of excitement to the event.
One of the highlights of the event is the Keeper Chats on Animal Family Dynamics, which offer a unique and educational perspective on the ways animals express love and form family bonds. During the chats, attendees can learn interesting facts, such as that African elephants live in matriarchal societies where the oldest female leads and penguins are known for their lifelong monogamous relationships and shared parenting duties.
