Scituate Together for Representation, Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity (STRIDE) invites members of the community to create and display Luminarias of Love, Light, and Inclusion on Friday, August 11, 2023, from 6-8 PM, at Scituate’s Harbor Community Building and Museum Beach. This gathering is offered in response to recent incidents of intolerance and intimidation in Scituate, including one that took place on Museum Beach in July and another on Hatherly Road in May. Please join us to support members of our community targeted by these and other acts of hate. Come to Scituate's Harbor Community Building and decorate paper bags with messages of Love, Inclusion, and Trust. Proceed to nearby Museum Beach* to place luminarias as the sun starts to set. Remarks at 7:45 p.m. at Museum Beach. Limited parking; carpooling is encouraged. *Museum Beach does not have a Mobimat for accessibility. The town will provide two all-terrain wheelchairs for anyone who needs assistance.

This is a family-friendly event.
