Info
Huntington Pride takes place on Saturday the 22nd October 2022.
Huntington Pride has launched several events and programs to further our mission. These include social events like Drag Me to Brunch, Book Signings, Comedy Shows, educational events such as, ‘National Coming Out Day,’ and the Transgender Day of Remembrance as well as fundraising events Like Drag Me to Bingo which raises money for various local non-profits. We also have events specifically for our LGBTQ+ youth, such as Rainbow Formal and United For Love, West Virginia’s first LGBTQ+ youth resource fair. Our biggest impact to date comes from our first annual Huntington Pride Festival, the first of which drew 5000 people to Downtown Huntington in an amazing display of love and community.
