Framingham Pride

Instructions:

1. Identify a publicly accessible Framingham location with a backdrop in one of the 11 colors featured in the progress flag, or set up a colorful backdrop in your home. The more locations folks select, the more diverse and beautiful our flag will be! Below are just a few examples and location suggestions.

2. Take a selfie or group photo* against the backdrop. Make sure the color you’re trying to feature is prominent—this will help us create a vibrant design!

3. Upload the photo to http://bit.ly/Framingham-Pride-2021 throughout the year. The final day to submit photos will be December 31, 2021.

*Please note that photos submitted will be displayed publicly only as part of our flag, which will fly proudly over Framingham next year. A digital copy of the flag design may also be shared electronically.

Example Locations:

• White: Fence at corner of Pinewood Drive and Clara Road
