<p>Celebrate Your Awesome returned to Alexandra Park on Saturday, June 21, bringing together the community for a celebration of Pride and diversity. The event featured drag shows, with a couple of queens from the TV show, Canada's Drag Race. There was also live music, a vendors area and an atmosphere of acceptance. The event provides a safe space for the people in the community who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+. Hundreds of people turned out to support the event. Due to the weather, there was a slight decrease in attendance compared to previous years, and adjustments were made to the entertainment, but the event continued without skipping a beat. With the event also falling on Indigenous People's Day, members of local Indigenous group, Brave Canoe, led the opening ceremonies. Heather Katz performed live music and Wayne Townsend DJ'd a disco set with dancers. The Orangeville Chorus Choir and Cherry Chapstick performed as well. Saphire Poision read children's books during a Drag Storytime event, hosted by the Orangeville Public Library. Mark's Orangeville was also in attendance and made custom made shirts on site with a shirt press, using designs selected by attendees.</p>
