Utah Pride is an annual event organized by the Utah Pride Center, a 501(c)3 state wide non-profit with the mission to unite, empower, and celebrate Utah’s diverse LGBTQ+ community.
Utah Pride is a celebration of hope to inspire a future without discrimination where everyone is free to be their authentic selves. The LGBTQ+ Pride events that are a part of Utah Pride are meant to encourage, educate, commemorate, and celebrate our community. Utah Pride is dedicated to creating a vibrant and inclusive set of events for LGBTQ+ individuals and allies. All entertainment options on various stages, music, performances, food, vendors, youth pride, marches and rallies are designed to celebrate diversity, equality, and love. Join us to show your support for the LGBTQ+ community and promote equality and justice for all!
Utah Pride is our organization’s biggest event, and all profits directly support the affirming and life-supporting services that the Center provides year-round. So when Pride is over, our work is not done! We carry on celebrating the LGBTQ+ community continuously throughout the year with daily programs for youth, families, adults, and seniors. The Center’s services include mental health, suicide prevention, social and support groups, training and education, special events and more, to create a space where everyone can come together to celebrate, honor, and uplift the diversity of our community.
We get to transform your fun into a meaningful myriad of resources for all our community members throughout the state, so go ahead and have as much fun as you can at the festival this year!!
