Sincerest thanks to Hillside Farm for throwing the most epic fundraiser we've ever seen with #dirtbagdrag. And thanks to everyone who supported it! We're going to turn those donations into more queer action.

And our bands will be playing a slightly stripped-back set in case we need to pack it up in a hurry. If the weather gets mean, everyone heads to Eden Cider for an early afterparty!

Northeast Kingdom Rainbow Coalition @nekrc.com · 23/06/2024

Our MakeOver U activities, and the portrait photographer, will be in the Skate Shack. We will have a shuttle running back and forth from the main event to the Glamor Shack so nobody has to stomp through the puddles.

Northeast Kingdom Rainbow Coalition @nekrc.com · 23/06/2024

Since the rest of the park will be soggy, most of the event will now take place by the Gazebo, just like last year.

Northeast Kingdom Rainbow Coalition @nekrc.com · 23/06/2024

The storm seems to be pushing later and later into the day, but we're changing the plan a little bit for safety and easy tear-down. The parade is going on as planned! If things get bad, folks can duck inside Eden Cider right on Main Street.

Northeast Kingdom Rainbow Coalition @nekrc.com · 22/06/2024

The forecast keeps changing, but we've got plans and backup plans!

If it rains on our parade, we're doing it anyway. If Gardner Park is wet, we set up tents in the back parking lot. If the weather is dangerous, everyone goes to Eden Cider

If we do get thunderstorms and have to get folks inside, there is one open building in the park, there are businesses right across the street, and parking very nearby if you need to get to your car.

Northeast Kingdom Rainbow Coalition @nekrc.com · 21/06/2024

*We are on, rain or shine! We're keeping an eye on the forecast. We will encourage everyone to come prepared for all kinds of weather, as this is Vermont and we know conditions can change quickly. There will be many tents to hang out under as well.

It's almost here! The second annual Northeast Kingdom PrideFest is this Sunday, June 23. We're sending this to everyone involved to make sure you have the most up-to-date info. So here are the most important notes:

Northeast Kingdom Rainbow Coalition @nekrc.com · 17/06/2024

We have a PrideFest map! There may be a little shuffling around day of, and we have so many vendors we couldn't fit all the tent icons, but this is the general idea to help you get around.

Tents, food trucks, games, bathrooms, and stages in Gardner Park. If you need a guide, just let us know at the first tent (info booth)!
