Pride 2026: Free to Be
June 13 @ 3:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Join us for the Friendlier City Project’s 4th annual Pride Festival! We are thrilled to be back in downtown Wheeling — bigger and brighter than ever before! 🔥🌈
We hope you will join us for a celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride, culture, history and community! This family-friendly event will feature exceptional live entertainment, a variety of food trucks and an outstanding artisan vendor market.
In response to the United States’s 250th birthday, this year’s theme is “Free To Be.” We are thrilled to host iconic symbols of American and LGBTQ+ history with the original Gilbert Baker pride flag, panels of the AIDS Memorial quilt, and so much more.
Special thanks to amazing local artist Amanda Carney (@ohmandaz) who designed this year’s pride design! ❤️
