10 years strong and counting!

What began as a simple block party outside the Phoenix Bar in 2015, New Orleans Pridefest has grown and grown into a burgeoning festival that now spans multiple blocks in the Marigny.

Each year our mission for Pridefest is to provide a space for our queer community to gather and celebrate the strength, determination and infinite beauty of our LGBTQIA friends and family. We know our work as queer people is far from over. We are committed to the fight for visibility and equality as queer Southerners, activists, creatives, and entrepreneurs. Our gathering each June is a celebration but also a call to action. We hope you will join us in our fight with a donation to New Orleans Pridefest to fund our efforts and keep Pridefest free!
