Our Mission
Stark Pride is a volunteer committee of diverse individuals that strives to be inclusive by welcoming people of all races, ages and backgrounds. Its programs, meetings, committees and events are open to all people regardless of age, race, nationality, sex, gender status, sexual orientation, income, religion, language, ability or immigration status.

The Stark LGBTQ+ PRIDE Festivals have been a smashing success with over 6,000 attendees for the combined years! The 2025 Festival will include MORE music, entertainment, speakers, educational programs, community booths, businesses, artists, food, and full representations of the broad and diverse facets of our community.

Proper Attire Disclaimer: 
Stark Pride is a family event. Though we respect everyone’s freedom to express themselves, we respectfully ask that all attendees wear clothing that covers their private parts. Buttocks, nipples, and genitals must be covered.

If it’s illegal to be uncovered in public, keep it covered at Pride!
