Lancaster Pride 🏳️‍🌈

A message from Lancaster Pride. This is our promise to the community. 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈 #lancasterpride #lancasterpa #queercommunity #promise #standstrong

A huge thank you to the incredible sponsors helping make the 2026 Lancaster Pride Festival possible! 🌈 ❤️ We’re especially grateful to our presenting sponsors, @lancastergeneralhealth and @atomicdesigninc , for their support of this year’s celebration at Penn Medicine Park on June 20th. Because of the generosity of our sponsors, donors, and community partners, Lancaster Pride Festival will once again be completely FREE to attend for the second year in a row. 🎉 As we prepare for our 18th annual festival, we’re reminded that Pride is truly a community effort. Every sponsorship and donation helps us create a day filled with joy, connection, visibility, entertainment, resources, and celebration for thousands of LGBTQIA+ community members and allies across Lancaster County. And good news - there’s still time to join this incredible group of supporters! We’ve extended the deadline to become a 2026 festival sponsor through May 22nd, which means there’s still time for organizations to be included on printed festival materials for this year’s event. If your business or organization wants to stand with Pride and support Lancaster’s LGBTQIA+ community, we’d love to partner with you. 👉️ Learn more and become a sponsor: [link in bio] Are you an individual looking to donate to Pride?

This past Saturday, we had the honor of joining the YWCA Lancaster for their 2026 Race Against Racism. ✊️🏃❤️ For 28 years, this event has brought our community together to take meaningful steps toward justice, equity, and lasting change - and we are so grateful to have been a part of it. From connecting with community members at our booth to cheering on (and joining!) the many runners and walkers who showed up with purpose, the day was full of energy, intention, and hope. Every step taken was a powerful reminder that this work matters, and that we are stronger when we show up together. Thank you to YWCA Lancaster for the work you do year-round to eliminate racism, empower women, and advance equity in our community. It is an honor to stand alongside you in this movement. And to everyone who stopped by, ran, walked, volunteered, or supported - thank you for being part of it! #RaceAgainstRacism #LancasterPA #LancasterPride
