Thank you to all those that made Lorain County Pride 2023 happen!
We are so thankful to everyone who helped us put on an amazing Pride celebration in Lorain County last year. It was our biggest Pride ever, and we could not have done it without the help of so many people, including all those who showed up to enjoy the events.
Thank you to our board members, volunteers, sponsors, vendors, partners, performers, and attendees. It was truly so heartwarming to see all of us come together to share in some queer comradery under the June sun.
We'd like to extend a special thank you to Oberlin College and their Multicultural Resource Center for providing a wonderful space for both the drag show and Pride festival, the Lake Erie Crushers for hosting Pride Night at the baseball stadium, Kendal at Oberlin for hosting our SafeZone training, and to all of our amazing drag kings and queens who truly slayed with out of this world performances.

LGBTQ+ people don't just exist in large cities - we are everywhere. Our organization will continue working to provide resources, connection, and a sense of community for queer people living, working, and thriving in Lorain county and our neighboring areas.
