The Boone County Pride Festival is on the eve of LGBTQ+ History Month in October. The first Pride occurred on June 28, 1970 in New York City, to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, a political protest and demonstration which drew thousands. In that spirit, the Boone County Pride Festival celebrates LGBTQ+ Boone County residents and aims to creates a joyful, safe space for everyone, regardless of identity or background.
The festival is free and open to the public.
