June in Boston means one thing: Pride Month.
The city comes alive with energy—parades, nightlife, community events, and a sense of connection that stretches across neighborhoods from Back Bay to Roxbury and beyond.
Whether you’re visiting for Pride or celebrating locally, it’s a time to explore, support, and show up for the community.
Pride in Boston Is Built on Community
Pride in Boston isn’t just a weekend—it’s a network of spaces, people, and businesses that create meaningful experiences year-round.
At Rooted In, we’re proud to be part of that network through ongoing collaborations with:
- Dani’s Queer Bar
- Jacques Cabaret
- Club Café
These spaces have long been pillars of Boston’s LGBTQ+ nightlife and culture—places where people gather, express themselves, and build community.
A Continued Partnership with Queer in Cannabis
Rooted In is also proud to partner with Queer in Cannabis (QIC), an organization focused on advocacy, visibility, and creating space within the cannabis industry.
Through this partnership, we aim to:
- Support LGBTQ+ professionals and entrepreneurs
- Amplify voices within the community
- Create more inclusive experiences for customers
Pride isn’t just something we celebrate—it’s something we actively support.
Highlighting LGBTQ+ Owned and Led Cannabis Brands
Pride Month is also an opportunity to spotlight brands that are pushing the industry forward.
At Rooted In, we regularly feature products from LGBTQ+ owned and affiliated brands, including:
Farnsworth Fine Cannabis
A brand known for its elevated, design-forward approach to cannabis, Farnsworth focuses on creating a refined and intentional experience around the plant. As noted in their materials, they aim to treat cannabis as something worthy of thoughtful presentation—“a museum for marijuana… a palace for pot”
Space Poppers
Created by culinary innovators Sara and Rodolfo after their win on Netflix’s Baking Impossible, Space Poppers brings creativity and craftsmanship to infused snacks—offering a light, flavorful, and experience-driven approach to edibles
These brands reflect the diversity, creativity, and innovation that define both the cannabis and LGBTQ+ communities.
A Safe, Welcoming Space in Back Bay
Pride is about more than events—it’s about feeling comfortable, respected, and seen.
At Rooted In, we work to create:
- A welcoming environment for all customers
- A team that prioritizes respect and understanding
- A space where people can shop comfortably and confidently
Whether you’re visiting Boston or live in the city, our goal is simple: make every interaction a positive one.
Make It Part of Your Pride Experience
If you’re spending time in Back Bay during Pride, there’s no shortage of ways to build your day—or your night.
You might start with a walk down Newbury Street, stop into a few shops, grab a coffee or early dinner, and make your way through the neighborhood.
A visit to Rooted In fits naturally into that flow—whether you’re easing into the day or getting ready to head out.
