LV Pride 2024
2024-08-18 14:00 - 19:00 | SteelStacks, 101 Founders Way, Bethlehem, PA, 18015, United States
This year’s 2024 theme is “We Deserve PRIDE.” In the face of national escalating legislative and societal challenges, Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center encourages community members, allies, and accomplices to show their Pride and support for LGBTQ+ people.
WHEN: Sunday, August 18 from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Lehigh Valley Pride will be celebrating Rain or Shine
WHO: LGBTQ+ community members and allies, including more than 300 vendors, artists, community organizations, and sponsors
WHERE: The SteelStacks: 101 Founders Way, Bethlehem, PA 18015
NEW THIS YEAR: To include even more community members and vendors, Lehigh Valley Pride will expand its square footage and encompass more of ArtsQuest’s campus, including an expansion on the baby and tot spot.
The event at the SteelStacks will include accessibility features such as free entry, ASL interpreters, ADA restrooms, large-print Pride guides, alcohol-free experiences, indoor air-conditioned spaces, accessible seating for those with disabilities, indoor sensory-friendly area, spirituality space, and reserved parking near the festival entrances.
NOTE: Since moving to this venue at SteelStacks, LV Pride no longer allows any politics at the event … BUT BCDC in partnership with LV4All will have an information table just outside the entrance to the event where we’ll be distributing information about the upcoming election and registering voters … stop by and say hello! (Any available BCDC member is welcome to join us volunteering during the event … we’ll be there from 1pm (before the gates open) until 6pm (a little before the event ends).
