2022 NWPA Pride Fest Main Stage in Downtown Erie, PA

NWPA Pride Alliance thrives on passion, dedication, and the amazing support of people and businesses right here in our community. We are a volunteer-powered group, working all year to create safe spaces, celebrate our vibrant LGBTQIA+ community, and push for a more welcoming Northwest Pennsylvania.

From the energy of Pride Fest to our ongoing education and support work, everything we do depends on your generosity. Every donation, big or small, and every business sponsorship helps us cover the costs - things like insurance, web services, and putting on the events you love. It helps us keep the spirit of Pride shining bright. And because we're a 501(c)(3) organization, your contribution is tax-deductible.
