PLEASE DON'T FEED THE BOT TROLLS AND SPAMMERS IN THE COMMENTS -- The first NEPA Pagan Pride Day Festival in 2023 drew over 257 people during the course of the day and raised 635 pounds of food for Bread Basket of NEPA. This past year we raised 562 pounds of food and had over 250 attendees (and that is just what we were able to count. Estimates are closer to 300-350). The International Pagan Pride Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to the elimination of prejudice and religious discrimination through education, activism, charity and community. Pagan Pride celebrations are held annually around the world within two weeks of the Autumn Equinox. In 2013, there were 98 Pagan Pride events across the USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Rome and Austria. 2013 event attendance was 65,717: an increase in attendance by over 20,000 when compared to 2012. The events collected a total of 39,962.80 pounds of nonperishable food. The food drive gives participants a way to share with those who are less fortunate while making a positive statement about Paganism. For decades Pagans have been wrongly accused of practicing devil-worship and performing “black magic.” In reality most Pagans enjoy a religion emphasizing respect for nature, humanity, and oneself. Modern Paganism, or Neo-Paganism, is a growing religious movement based on combinations of ancient polytheism, modern eco-spirituality, and reverence for the Divine beyond gender stereotypes. --- NEPA Pagan Pride Day Saturday, August 1st, 2026 Kirby Park, Wilkes-Barre, PA Free to attend | Family-friendly | Rain or shine - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/kingston/2026-nepa-pagan-pride-day-festival/200028682789307 - **Event Categories**: festivals, workshops, music, entertainment, nonprofit, performances, live-music, charities, music-festivals - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 452 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Kingston - **state**: PA - **country**: United States - **location**: 160 Market St, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18704 - **lat**: 41.2514695 - **long**: -75.8875951 - **full address**: 160 Market St, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18704, 162 Market St, Kingston, PA 18704, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: 2026 NEPA Pagan Pride Day Festival - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/9f891c272ddce9c43cfcaa4355fc8da030a00562eeb4e06f119eb182234e318a-rimg-w1200-h675-dcdbeed5-gmir?v=1776412256 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is 2026 NEPA Pagan Pride Day Festival being held? - **A:** 2026 NEPA Pagan Pride Day Festival takes place on Sat, 01 Aug, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sat, 01 Aug, 2026 at 05:30 pm at 160 Market St, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18704, 162 Market St, Kingston, PA 18704, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing 2026 NEPA Pagan Pride Day Festival? - **A:** 2026 NEPA Pagan Pride Day Festival is organized by Wyoming Valley CUUPS. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
