Celebrating diversity and committed to seeking equity and inclusion for all in the LGBTQ+ community. Virginia Pride seeks to make our region a better place for LGBTQ+ people to live, work and visit.

OUR MISSION

Virginia Pride

Our priority is to create experiences that embrace individuals of all identities as well as intentionally working to elevate those of our LGBTQ+ community that are disproportionately impacted including people of color, trans individuals, and those that identify as non-binary or gender non-conforming.

Produces dozens of events annually that celebrate the Richmond region’s LGBTQ community, including a pride festival that attracts more than 50,000 people making it the largest LGBTQ event in the Commonwealth.
Presents an annual “Firework Award” to recognize people, entities and organizations that are catalysts for change in the LGBTQ community. Past recipients include governors, community leaders and local activist groups.
