The celebration will also feature live music performances and various local vendors!

Admission

Pride Week is presented by Pride Center of Western New York, a nonprofit dedicated to the inclusion and celebration of LGBTQ+ community members. In order to support expenses for security, site rental, and labor required throughout Pride Week, a small admission fee will be collected from guests at the Pride Festival. However, the majority of Pride Week events and activities are free of charge.

A week of fun awaits you in Buffalo! You won’t want to miss this joyous commemoration of LGBTQ+ history and culture. Express yourself and have a blast while supporting the Pride Center of Western New York’s mission of fostering a safe, healthy, and satisfying community!
