Rainbow Flags for Chelmsford

Rainbow Flags for Chelmsford is a volunteer-run community group that keeps LGBTQ+ visibility alive in this suburban Middlesex County town. It grew out of the local push to fly the rainbow flag on public buildings during Pride Month, and each June it hands out rainbow flags to residents and encourages the town to display them at the Center for the Arts, the senior center and local schools. The group also points people toward LGBTQ+ resources across the Greater Lowell and Merrimack Valley area and helps connect residents with regional Pride events. It isn't a venue you visit so much as the organizing thread behind Chelmsford's quiet, grassroots Pride presence, and a useful first point of contact for LGBTQ+ newcomers to the area.
