Ashtabula Pride is coming!

Plans for the 3rd annual Ashtabula County Pride festival are underway and getting exciting. Last year over 2000 people showed up to celebrate diversity. This year Pride will be held June 3rd from 11:00-5:00 at the Ashtabula County fairgrounds in Jefferson, OH. Admission is free for anyone in the LGBTQ+ community, their friends, family and allies. The family-friendly event will have food trucks, vendors, crafts, community services representatives, live music and entertainment by local talent, dance parties, free medical testing, the Bookmobile, activities for kids, representatives from local churches, and a basket raffle.

The day begins with the opening ceremonies and a performance of the song "This is Me" from the movie The Greatest Showman. Other performers will include The Jefferson Community Players with an exciting radio theater show, local band The Daze, drag queen Mona Lotz and several friends, and other area singers and performers.

The LGBTQ+ Coalition of Ashtabula County believes those in LGBTQ+ community are a valuable part of Ashtabula county and deserve to be recognized, appreciated and celebrated.

Ashtabula County Pride is about building a world of acceptance through P.R.I.D.E. (PRIDE = People Rising for Inclusivity, Diversity & Equality).
