The Northern Nevada Pride is an annual pride parade and associated festival in Reno, Nevada produced by Our Center.[2][3] The festival has grown into one of northern Nevada's largest annual LGBTQ+ gatherings, combining visibility, celebration, and advocacy.[4][5] The festival is held each September, as of 2023, at MidTown Reno.[6]
Northern Nevada Pride traces its origins to smaller local Pride and parade events in the Reno area during the late 1980s and 1990s, gradually growing into a significant annual celebration of LGBTQIA+ culture, community, and advocacy in northern Nevada. The first Northern Nevada Pride was held on July 26, 2014 as part of Artown.[7][8][9] Originally held in Wingfield Park and Downtown Reno, the event now features a parade and festival in MidTown Reno, bringing together thousands of community members, performers, vendors, and supporters.[10] The Pride event benefits northern Nevada's only LGBTQ+ community center, Our Center, after federal funding loss.[11][12][13]
