About
Pride of Woodstock
Welcome to Pride of Woodstock. A celebration of love, diversity, and community set against the picturesque backdrop of this charming New England town. This Pride event combines the spirit of Woodstock, Vermont with the vibrant colors of the LGBTQ+ community, creating a unique and welcoming atmosphere for all.
Pride of Woodstock is proud to be a project of Woodstock Community Trust.
““Why not Woodstock?” is the question a group of community members asked themselves when the topic of hosting a local Gay Pride event was brought up in conversation during a gathering in May of 2023. This started a flurry of research, organizing, and speaking with local Woodstock residents. It quickly became clear there was overwhelming support for the idea and soon a committee of volunteers formed, ready to make it happen.”
The inaugural year welcomed over 400 visitors to the Village of Woodstock. The immense support for the weekend of events including the High Heel Race, Made with Pride Arts & Crafts Fair, Drag Brunch, Dances, and more garnered from the local community and tourists from as far as California solidified Pride of Woodstock, Vermont as an annual celebration.
The weekend event itself achieved the ultimate goal of welcoming, celebrating, and supporting an underrepresented diverse group, the LQBTQ+ community, while engaging our local residents to celebrate and participate.
