Mansfield Gay Pride Association

     Mansfield Gay Pride Association, a local 501(c)3 organization, began in 2015 with the simple goal of hosting a community-wide LGBTQ+ festival.  Mark your calendar now to join us on Saturday, June 22nd 2024 for the 10th Annual Pride Festival & Parade! This family friendly all day celebration kicks off with a colorful parade along Park Avenue West to the festival site at Central Park in the heart of Downtown Mansfield (OH). Music, food, vendor booths, children's fun zone and information displays from various organizations, churches and service providers offers something for everyone. Hope to see you in the crowd next year and invite you to stop by the Welcome Booth to say hello.

Current Needs

Like many nonprofits, there are ongoing operating expenses that need to be covered each month. Our board is very mindful in selecting cost effective solutions to be able to maintain our presence in the community which includes website hosting, post office box rental, and software for membership engagement. Festival expenses include permits, entertainment performer fees, insurance, banners, safety services, advertising and supplies. All of the work being done by the Board, its Committees and our awesome Volunteers is accomplished through their personal commitment and without monetary compensation. Any financial contribution you can make at this time is greatly appreciated. If you are interested in volunteering, please send an email to info@mansfieldgayprideassociation.org.
