The date is set — rain or shine: The third annual Long Island Equality March and LGBTQIA Pride Picnic happens in Sayville on Sunday, June 7.
The Transgender Resource Center of Long Island (TRCLI) reports that registration is now open for vendors, volunteers and everyone who wants to join the 1 p.m. march from the train station to the Common Ground at Rotary Park.

Last year’s event was a huge success, with hundreds of people from all walks of life festively marching down Railroad Avenue, which was decorated with rainbow flags provided by the Greater Sayville Chamber of Commerce. The weather was perfect for the picnic, speeches and musical entertainment that followed.
Line up for the march begins at 12:30 p.m. in the Long Island Rail Road parking lot, located at Depot Street and Green Avenue, across from the train station. Community organizations from across Long Island will participate.
Local food vendors will serve hot food and cold drinks. Picnickers should come prepared with picnic blankets or lawn chairs. The event goes until 6 p.m.
