Join us for the sixth annual Pride Rocks!- a free, family-friendly festival where we celebrate with community through music and art.
About this Event

Pride Rocks! is free and open to the public, please note that that registering for this event is not required.

By registering through Eventbrite, you’ll be entered to win one of two raffle baskets filled with items donated by local businesses and organizations. Winners will be announced at Pride Rocks! between 12:00–2:00 PM (the event itself runs from 11:00-4:00).

At this family friendly festival: Fuel up with delicious eats from a variety of local food trucks and browse unique crafts & products from local vendors. Enjoy live music from local LGBTQ+ & Ally musicians while you connect with local non-profit providers and learn more about the resources available to you here in the community.

Join us in painting colorful, Pride-themed rocks with messages of hope and support that will then be distributed throughout the Greater Dayton community to advance LGBTQ+ resilience to prevent suicide. All materials will be provided!

Join us in honoring our Brandon Sawyers Community Champion, presented by Beth and Doug Mann, an individual who has done outstanding work in LGBTQ+ suicide prevention in our community.

Together, we can build a stronger, more inclusive community—one that champions connection and prioritizes mental well-being.

We are extremely grateful to Wright-Patt Credit Union, whose generous support as our presenting sponsor has made this event possible.

To contribute to this very important Suicide Prevention initiative we have sponsorship opportunities available, to learn more visit: nccjoh.org/pride-sponsors.We look forward to seeing you!

Please check back with a Line-Up and Agenda in the coming weeks and do not forget to share this event with your friends and family!
