To celebrate Pride Month, several rainbow-colored crosswalks will be installed in downtown Springfield, Massachusetts.

The Pride crosswalks will be at the busy four-way intersection of Main Street, Court Street, and Bruce Landon Way by the entrance to the MassMutual Center and the William C. Sullivan Regional Visitors Center.

Last year, the City Council unanimously approved the permanent crosswalks.

The Springfield Cultural Partnership announced the installation is scheduled for this Sunday, June 25th

WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with the cultural partnership’s executive director Karen Finn.
