History of the Utah Pride Festival

sunday-ccbldg2Every year, a committee of volunteers, staff and community organizations work together to produce the Utah Pride Festival in June. Begun in 1983, the annual event has grown dramatically from those small and rather secretive first gatherings to a 3-day festival with national headliners.

Recent attendance has reached to well over 20,000 people, including those from the GLBT community and their allies found among their families, friends, neighbors, and co-workers.

Utah Pride Festival is a program of the Utah Pride Center, a community-based organization that provides support, education, outreach and advocacy for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer individuals and their allies, through programs, services and resources.
