Come celebrate queer joy, resilience, and community with incredible local artists, makers, performers and orgs who help make Interior Alaska a little more fabulous every day. Free and all ages! Bring your friends, fam, your flags, and your full, fabulous self.
PrideFest is an event that celebrates the queer community, diversity, love, acceptance, liberation and joy! Our only requirement for attending Pridefest is that you treat everyone with kindness and respect.
There are no admission fees and plenty of free fun to be had. From games to music to cuddly animals, there’s something for everyone. Here's what you can look forward to:
Free yard games, crafts, facepainting and activities happening all day ~ some activities even lead by our fabulous community partners!
DUNK FOR A CAUSE- We’re raising money for the Kathy Ottersten Mutual Aid Fund with a dunk tank featuring Grier Hopkins. Grier will also be making a special announcement at the beginning of PrideFest, so be sure to catch it!
Kitten and puppy Meet and Greet with Forget-Me-Not Animal Rescue- Come cuddle some cuties and maybe meet your new best friend! They're also setting up a FABULOUS photobooth!
