Pride Guide 2026

For the South Coast LGBTQ+ Network.

Pending the Network’s yes

The job

Pride Guide 2026 is a 28-page printed guide that Cuttyhunk laid out for the South Coast LGBTQ+ Network. It tells readers what the Network offers all year and what happens at Pride South Coast, a free, all-ages festival in Taunton on Saturday, June 6, 2026.

The guide had two jobs. On the day, it had to get people around a free festival: who is on stage when, where the kids area is, where the quiet space is. After the day, it had to keep working as the directory of the Network’s programs and the story of its community center.

The same order on every program page

The program pages run in one order, so a reader who learns one page can read the rest. The cost and the contact line sit in the same place every time.

Twelve to five at Weir Riverfront Park

The day pages put the time first on every line, so a set is easy to find while standing in a park. The stage schedule is one column, and the Kids Area page keeps the basics together: parking, accessibility, weather and what to bring.

Pages that outlast June 6

Half the guide is meant to outlive the day: the programs, the summer calendar, and the community center the Network is building. The closing pages say how to give, volunteer and join.

From layout to press

The guide is 28 pages at 5.5 by 8.5 inches. It was prepared for press as a file of single pages with bleed, so the dark back cover runs to the edge.
