Peoria Proud, and its producing partners, proudly present the 2024 River City Pride Festival. There are LOTS of new features and options for this year thanks to the community feedback, check them out! The River City Pride Festival, one of our key programs, is a day-long event of engaging programming and festivities to support awareness of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning and allied (LGBTQA) community of Peoria, IL, and the greater Central Illinois area. In 2022, our inaugural event at Riverfront Park hosted 30 vendors and sponsors and boasted 5,000 attendees throughout the course of the day. The 2023 event expanded its footprint along the riverfront park and featured two stages of live entertainment and 100 vendors. Peoria Proud encourages and supports diversity and equity throughout Central Illinois. The coalition seeks to unify the community as a whole, through advocacy, education, and social outreach.
