Chelan Pride has profoundly deepened my appreciation for our community. Participating in Pride for the first time in 2024, allowed my inner child to find love and acceptance, healing past wounds. Without the group’s presence, I can’t imagine how much inner peace I would have achieved on my own. Chelan Pride is truly one of a kind, and I am honored to serve our community on this board.

Growing up in Chelan, I realize how much I could have benefited from this group in the past. Nevertheless, I am incredibly grateful to have found Chelan Pride when I did. Our dedicated group of individuals consistently prioritizes the best interests of the LGBTQIA+ community in our decision-making, event-planning, and vision for our small town.

I love the person that Chelan Pride brings out in me. Chelan Pride truly puts the UNITY in CommUNITY.

If you need a place that will love and accept you for who you are, Chelan Pride is the place to join. We offer events throughout the year, from learning about a new culture, to nature hikes, to game nights to our main event the Pride Festival in June. Come find out what we’re all about!

A Sparkling Celebration of Community!

Chelan Pride is an absolute gem! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, included, and part of something truly special. This isn't just an event; it's a vibrant celebration of love, acceptance, and belonging. The organizers clearly put their hearts into creating a safe and joyful space for everyone. The atmosphere was electric with positive energy, and the sheer joy radiating from attendees was infectious.

Beyond the fun activities and entertainment (which were top-notch!), what truly stood out was the genuine sense of community. I met so many wonderful people, and the feeling of connection was palpable. Chelan Pride beautifully showcases the power of diversity and reminds us that love always wins. Whether you're part of the LGBTQIA+ community or an ally, you'll find open arms and a whole lot of fun here. Highly recommend experiencing the magic of Chelan Pride for yourself!
