Since 1992, Pride Festival of Central PA has held an annual festival each summer to promote awareness and showcase organizations and business available to the LGBT and straight ally community. Pride Festival weekend provides several safe environments for people of the LGBT and straight ally community to celebrate their diversity and support local economic growth by partnering with the community and attracting individuals to Central Pennsylvania.
A project of The Foundation for Enhancing Communities, a 501(c)3 organization and one of the oldest community foundations in the country, the Pride Festival of Central PA and its all volunteer Executive Board relies on the kind and generous support of volunteers, businesses - both local and national, community groups and donors to fund and fuel the success of Pride each year.
The Pride Festival of Central PA regularly attracts 5,000 people to downtown Harrisburg. Each year the festival brings people from all over the country to Pennsylvania's capital city.
