Our History
2018
Our very first pride event called Kid’s Pride Fest laid the foundation for our organization’s existence. After the event we realized that we had started needed to become organized so we founded Woodstock Pride.
With the founding of the organization we also began our association with the Woodstock Area Chamber of Commerce and Industry. This partnership helps us to focus on our mission.
2019
We held our very first annual Woodstock PrideFest! The events brought thousands of people to Woodstock to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community.
As well as this event we hosted events to celebrate Coming out day, held a vigil for Transgender Day of Remembrance. We also hosted a multitude of socials and educational events.
2020
A year that will go down in infamy, the year Covid-19 shut down the world. We were all effected deeply by the impact of the global pandemic, some more than others, due to this we were unable to host many of our popular events.
In lieu of our ever expanding Pridefest, we hosted our Pride Promenade, our answer to the parade of homes with an LGBTQIA+ spin!! Nothing will stop our self-celebration!
2021
In 2021 we welcomed back our traditional PrideFest with a parade and festival on the Woodstock Square as well as continue the now tradition of the Pride Promenade.
We were overjoyed to see the community come back out in support of the event and excited at the prospect of getting back to a new “normal”
2024
We are adding more to 2024 than ever before!
2022
We are excited to be having a bigger and better PrideFest by expanding upon what we have all ready established.
The focus will also be on re-energizing and re-establishing our group with a focus on our mission and vision and expanding our services to the community.
2023
Even a little rain couldn’t keep us from enjoying a great PrideFest weekend.
Be a part of helping us build that future by getting involved and attending events!
