LGBTQIA+ Pride Month
Each June, the City of Fairfax formally recognizes LGBTQIA+ Pride Month through a mayoral proclamation presented at a City Council meeting.
On May 27, 2025, Mayor Read presented the proclamation to the Pride Festival Committee and the Metropolitan Community Church. The practice continued on May 26, 2026, when the Mayor presented the proclamation to Reverend Emma Chattin of Metropolitan Community Church of Northern Virginia, again formally declaring June as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month in the City of Fairfax. The proclamation appears to be a recurring annual ceremonial action of the Council.
