Loveland proclaims Juneteenth and recognizes Pride Month; city invites community events
Summary
At the study session Loveland City Council read and accepted a Juneteenth proclamation (June 19, 2025) and a proclamation recognizing June 2025 as LGBTQ+ Pride Month; the city promoted local events at Crooked Beach and Mahaffey Park.
During the June 10 study session, Loveland City Council read and accepted two proclamations.
Councilor Kovach read a Juneteenth proclamation that memorialized the Emancipation Proclamation and General Gordon Granger's 1865 announcement in Galveston; the proclamation designated June 19, 2025 as Juneteenth in Loveland and invited residents to a community celebration at Crooked Beach on June 14.
The council also read a proclamation recognizing June 2025 as LGBTQ+ Pride Month (the presenter used the term in the packet as "bridal month," which the city's materials and community usage identify as Pride Month). The proclamation cited the 1969 Stonewall uprising, affirmed the city's commitment to inclusion and invited residents to the Loveland Pride Festival at Mahaffey Park on June 20.
Both proclamations were signed by Mayor Jackie Marsh and accepted by community representatives, who thanked the council and encouraged public participation in the scheduled events.
What happens next: The city highlighted the dates and encouraged community attendance at the Crooked Beach Juneteenth event and the Mahaffey Park Pride Festival.
