The New Orleans Pridefest 501(c)(3) nonprofit is the city's longest-running Pride festival. What began as a small block party in 2015 has grown into our city's featured annual Pride festival that spans multiple blocks in the Marigny. We are a safe and celebratory space for the Gulf South LGBTQIA+ community and beyond to come celebrate Pride.

This year's festival takes place on Saturday, June 14, at Elysian Fields and Rampart, at 5 p.m.

The festival is funded by donations from individuals, sponsorships from businesses and organizations, and holding monthly fundraisers throughout the year. Pridefest features nearly 80 vendors of LGBTQIA creatives, community organizations and entrepreneurs. We have an amazing festival planned for 2025 with one major, exciting change. For the first time, New Orleans Pridefest will take place evening instead of the daytime, sparing attendees of baking in our usual hot and humid June weather. We have a fantastic lineup of entertainers planned, with RuPaul's Drag Race star Kerri Colby headlining the festival.

We hope you will join us in our fight with a donation to New Orleans Pridefest to fund our efforts and keep Pridefest free for everyone!
