Get Ready! Pride on the Bay 2025 is Coming!

Mark your calendars and get your rainbows ready! NWPA Pride Alliance is thrilled to announce Pride on the Bay 2025! This is more than just a party; it's a vibrant expression of our love, our joy, and our unshakeable presence. We're coming together to celebrate, yes, but also to proudly claim this day, to fill the space with the laughter and love of a community that has faced adversity and continues to shine brightly. Our joy is a powerful answer to the hatred in the world, a beautiful act of resistance.

Join us for the main event, Pride Fest, on Saturday, June 28th, at the beautiful Rebich Investments Amphitheater in Liberty Park. The fun kicks off when the gates open at Noon, with the official Pride Fest activities running from 1 PM to 6 PM. And guess who's leading the party? We've got the incredible DJ Tony G hosting, and it's extra special because this will be his final Pride event with us! Sharing the hosting duties will be the fabulous Debbie Does Drag, your reigning National Miss Comedy Queen 2025! You know it's going to be an unforgettable day with these two at the helm.

But that's not all! Prepare for an amazing day packed with fantastic local performers who will be gracing our stage. We'll have music to get you moving, delicious food to keep you fueled, and a variety of vendors offering unique goods and information. It’s the perfect chance to support local, connect with community organizations, and just soak in the incredible atmosphere. And the celebration doesn't stop there! Don't miss the Pride Parade on Sunday, June 29th, making its way from 11th Street to Perry Square. It's a whole weekend of Pride!

We want to give a huge shout-out to our wonderful sponsors who help make this all possible: Erie Insurance, Erie Food Co-op, and Central Outreach Wellness. Their support is invaluable!

Want to know more? Of course, you do! For all the latest details, performer lineups as they're announced, and any other information you might need, head over to our Pride on the Bay page.

Get ready for a weekend of joy, community, and unapologetic Pride. We can’t wait to celebrate with you at Pride on the Bay 2025!

Personally, coming out was one of the most important things I’ve ever done, lifting from my shoulders the millstone of lies that I hadn’t even realized I was carrying.
