NW PA Pride has been hosting Happy Hours in Meadville since December 2021 and were approached by a group of Meadville residents to help make an event for the Meadville area.

On Saturday, July 23, from 1 pm to 5 pm NW PA Pride will have their first Pride in Meadville. This event will be held on upper Chestnut Street and Diamond Park, and will include a pride walk, street festival, food trucks, and exhibits by local vendors and artists.

Opening Ceremonies at Diamond Park will be hosted by NWPA Pride President Alex Sphon, speakers and the sickening drag performers Alysin Wonderland, Debbie and Rose Winters will be performing. After the Opening Ceremonies please join us in a Pride March around Diamond Park to the Street Fair.
