Erie Virtual Pride Fest

The weekend of June 26th and June 27th was Pride weekend in Erie. This year’s Pridefest was held virtually in collaboration with the Erie Playhouse. It featured performances from the Erie Playhouse actors, local drag entertainment, and speakers ranging from local activists to local and federal government officials. The show can still be watched on the Erie Playhouse YouTube page.

Speakers include Erie City Mayor Joe Schember, Erie County Executive Kathy Dahlkemper, US Senator Bob Casey Jr, and TransFamily of NW PA member Dana Rasmussen. Performers included Rebecca Mae, Debbie, Alysin Wonderland, Pissi Gabune, Lovin Heart, Shea D’Heaux, Porsha Lajay, Patrick Vahey & Alex Staley, Zayna Darres, Amelia Wisinski, and Jasse Camacho Vera.

We look forward to a second Pride Weekend on 8/14 and 8/15, where we will host the 28th Annual Pride Picnic and Pride Day at Waldameer Park and Water World. For more info on both, please check our Facebook Page or NWPApride.org.
