Fuquay-Varina Pride Celebration began in 2022 when a small group of community members came together with a shared vision: to create a space where queer individuals could gather, celebrate, and feel seen. What started as a modest idea expecting 50 attendees grew into a vibrant celebration that welcomed over 300 people in its first year—and we’ve been growing ever since.
Each year, we come together to honor the strength, courage, and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community. Our signature Strut through downtown is a joyful, visible show of pride and unity. The celebration also features a lively festival with awareness booths, live music, fun activities, and a raffle—raising funds to support the LGBT Center of Raleigh.
With the support of local businesses, sponsors, and organizations, Fuquay-Varina Pride Celebration has become more than an event—it’s a movement. We proudly promote and uplift queer-focused events throughout the year, creating a more inclusive and welcoming Fuquay-Varina for all.
