Metro East Pride Fest has grown into one of the most anticipated events in the region, attracting over 15 to 20 thousand attendees in 2025, and growing larger each year. It is a day filled with entertainment, local vendors, food, music, and family-friendly activities, all aimed at fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment for all ages. Our festival is only possible through the generosity of businesses and organizations like yours, who share our commitment to equality and celebration.
