MILTON, Del.- This year's Milton Pride Celebration, co-presented by Sussex Pride and the Milton Theatre, returns Saturday, June 8 for a Mardi Gras themed event.
"Join us as we honor a decade of love, acceptance, and community in true Mardi Gras fashion, filled with colorful parades, intricate masks, and joyous revelry." said the Milton Theatre.
