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.
