Despite early heavy rains, the skies cleared just in time for the 4th Annual Pride 5k in West Palm Beach. The race, presented by Night Runners West Palm Beach, took place at the waterfront park in downtown on June 8. This year, the event featured a Health & Wellness Expo highlighting many health and wellness resources and local LGBTQ businesses.

Wilton Manors Mayor Scott Newton has lived in the city nearly his entire life, but the past 15 months have been nomadic, and some people are questioning his eligibility to run for office in the city.

Compass LGBTQ+ Community Center is closing out Pride Month with their Stonewall Ball, which has been ongoing for over 20 years. The event will take place June 29 from 7 p.m.  to midnight at the Hilton West Palm Beach.

On the street and behind the scenes, there were a lot of new aspects to this year’s Stonewall Pride in Wilton Manors.

After months of delays and uncertainty, The Wilton Yards Townhome Project at 2700 NE 9th Ave., has moved forward. During their meeting on June 11, the city commissioners approved several technical but necessary steps.
