Lancaster Pride

Beyond the festival — uplifting and supporting Lancaster’s LGBTQIA+ community all year long.

Thank You for an Incredible 2025 Pride Festival!

Lancaster showed up with love, joy, and authenticity to celebrate our LGBTQ+ community — and we could not be more proud.

This was our largest festival yet, with 10,502 people coming together in the heart of Lancaster City.

We were honored to host Governor Josh Shapiro, who visited vendors, volunteers, and attendees and shared powerful words of support for our community.

A huge thank you to our incredible sponsors, who helped make the festival possible. And an even bigger thank you to our community; your donations made Pride free for the first time ever! What an amazing gift of generosity.

We love celebrating pride month, but we want to remind everyone that our pride and beautiful LGBTQ+ community don’t cease to exist on July 1.

Keep an eye out for monthly events on the horizon, we can’t wait to share more and continue supporting you in every way we can.

We’d love to hear about your experience at Pride!

Your feedback helps us continue to grow and create a Pride festival that truly represents our community.
