Hosted by the LGBTQ Resource Center at Sanford Yoga & Community Center

Dust off your neon leggings, tease your bangs to alarming heights, and prepare your emotional support fanny packs because Pride Fest is BACK, baby — and this year we’re going FULL 80s chaos.

That’s right. We’re throwing an all-out Pride Fest 80s Bash complete with:
✨ Richard Simmons as our honorary Daddy of the Day
✨ Neon everything
✨ A unicorn petting zoo (yes, really)
✨ Karaoke bangers
✨ Arts & crafts
✨ Zumba
✨ Community love
✨ And at least one terrible dad joke because…Father’s Day weekend.

(We promise not to make things too “pop.” Get it? Because the 80s? We’ll see ourselves out.)

This year’s Pride Fest is all about JOY. Community. Glitter. Weirdness. Connection. And building the kind of loving, welcoming spaces that remind people they belong exactly as they are.

So grab your favorite 80s-inspired outfit, channel your inner Richard Simmons, Dolly, Prince, Madonna, or whichever chaotic icon speaks to your soul, and come celebrate with us.

? EVENT TIMELINE ?
2:00pm — Richard Simmons-Themed Zumba

Led by local Zumba extraordinaire Vanessa Del’Castillo, who will absolutely be bringing the energy, the moves, and the vibes. Stretch those hammies and shake your glittery little tush to the 80s beat.

3:00–5:00pm — Unicorn & Petting Zoo

Courtesy of our fabulous local farm friends at Pint Sized Pastures, featuring THEIR UNICORN. Honestly, what more do you need to know? Support local agriculture. Support local unicorns. Support dreams.

4:00–6:00pm — Karaoke Party

Grab the mic. Belt your little heart out. Whether you’re giving Whitney Houston excellence or drunk uncle at a wedding energy, we support you fully.

ALL DAY — Arts & Crafts Stations

We’ll have arts and crafts set up inside the brewery for kiddos AND adults because crafting while slightly sweaty and emotionally healed by glitter is basically the official pastime of Pride Month.

? WANT TO SUPPORT PRIDE FEST? ?

This event is community-built. Community-funded. Community-loved.

We don’t have giant corporate sponsors or mysterious billionaire sugar daddies funding this beautiful rainbow monster. This space survives because people like YOU show up, donate, volunteer, and believe that queer joy and community matter.

And honestly? We’re deeply grateful for that.
