Help Bring LGBTQ+ Pride to the Northshore

Your support helps make Pride Northshore possible.

Each year, thousands gather on the Mandeville Lakefront for Pride Northshore — the first Pride parade and celebration ever held in St. Tammany Parish. What began as a small community effort has grown into one of the largest LGBTQ+ events on the Northshore, bringing together families, friends, and allies from across the region.

Producing Pride Northshore requires permits, safety planning, staging, sound equipment, and event infrastructure and this year a new city ordinance has doubled our costs. Your GiveNOLA Day donation helps cover these essential costs so that Pride can remain accessible and welcoming to everyone in our community.

Why Pride Northshore Matters

Pride events exist around the world to celebrate identity, dignity, and equal belonging. 

In smaller or less-accepting communities, they also serve another purpose:
 to signal that LGBTQ+ people are seen, supported, and part of the fabric of local life. 

Pride Northshore brings that visibility to Southeast Louisiana’s Northshore, creating opportunities for connection, celebration, and community building throughout the month of June.

About This Year’s Theme 

"We Rise Together" is a call to action and a promise. It means standing shoulder to shoulder with all who are oppressed. We stand with the immigrants who live among us. We stand for a future rooted in justice, safety, and belonging. We stand for a world where the right to exist freely and peacefully is fundamental, not conditional.

This Pride, we rise in joy. We rise in solidarity. We rise in defiance of fear. And most importantly, we rise together. 

How Funds are Used

Queer Northshore is a volunteer-led organization, meaning every dollar raised goes directly toward producing Pride Northshore and supporting the LGBTQ+ community across the Northshore. 

Rise With Us

Together, we can continue building a Pride celebration that reflects the strength, visibility, and joy of our community.

Our GiveNOLA Day goal is to raise $10,000 to help fund Pride Northshore 2026.

Every Pride celebration on the Northshore exists because community members like you chose to make it possible.
