2026 Pride Luncheon

Celebrate Pride with the Wisconsin LGBT Chamber at our Pride Luncheon in Appleton on Wednesday, June 24, 2026 (11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.). Join us as we recognize the progress made for the LGBTQ community and discuss the work that still needs to be done as we work towards full equality.

Inspiring speakers will share their story and vision for a more inclusive world. You'll also have the opportunity to network with other members of the LGBTQ community and our allies, as well as a delicious lunch. Vegetarian and vegan options available.
