Northern Nevada Pride


The Northern Nevada Pride is an annual pride parade and associated festival in Reno, Nevada produced by Our Center. The festival has grown into one of northern Nevada's largest annual LGBTQ+ gatherings, combining visibility, celebration, and advocacy. The festival is held each September, as of 2023, at MidTown Reno.

History

Northern Nevada Pride traces its origins to smaller local Pride and parade events in the Reno area during the late 1980s and 1990s, gradually growing into a significant annual celebration of LGBTQIA+ culture, community, and advocacy in northern Nevada. The first Northern Nevada Pride was held on July 26, 2014 as part of Artown. Originally held in Wingfield Park and Downtown Reno, the event now features a parade and festival in MidTown Reno, bringing together thousands of community members, performers, vendors, and supporters. The Pride event benefits northern Nevada's only LGBTQ+ community center, Our Center, after federal funding loss.

Performers
