On September 15, MacDowell was honored to take part in Keene Pride, the Monadnock region's largest celebration of the local LGBTQ+ community. The day was comprised of over 5,000 attendees and 100 vendors including artisans, non-profits, live music acts, food trucks, circus performances, drag queens, kings, and much, much more!
