New Canaan Pride Kicks Off with Celebration Wednesday at Pesca [Q&A]

New Canaan Pride has put together a kickoff to Pride Month with Wednesday, June 5 Pride celebration at Pesca on Main Street. We had the chance to chat with organizer and New Canaan resident Genevieve Schettino about what to look forward to at this upcoming event, and an inside look at New Canaan Pride as an organization. Here’s our exchange. ***

New Canaanite: Let’s get straight into it, can you talk a little bit about what this event is on Wednesday night and the group behind it?  

Genevieve Schettino: So this is the kickoff of Pride Month for our town. A couple of years ago—I guess a few years ago now—we started a small group who wanted to show that we’re supportive in New Canaan of the LGBTQ+ groups in town.
