Virginia’s PRIDE season spans most of the year — MARCH through NOVEMBER — with so many pride events we’ve had to extend and expand our statewide calendar beyond June’s recognized Pride Month. We have several, large-scale festivals, week-long socials, medium-sized weekend shows and smaller, day-long get-togethers.

As you make your event and travel plans, use our statewide list of self-designated LGBT-friendly lodging, dining, shops, craft beverages, outdoors and attractions found at Virginia.org/LGBT. And, Virginians are finding and sharing more of our Queer history, statewide.

Don’t forget to wear your Virginia is for Lovers Pride Gear!
