Introducing Woodlake Pride 2023: Celebrating Love, Unity, and Diversity!
Get ready to experience a day filled with joy, acceptance, and community spirit at this year's Woodlake Pride event. Join us as we come together to celebrate love in all its beautiful forms and honor the vibrant LGBTQ+ community of Woodlake.
Last year, thanks to the incredible support of our community, we raised an astounding $3,000 that directly benefited local LGBTQ+ initiatives. Together, we made a difference, and this year, we're ready to take our impact even further.
This year's Woodlake Pride promises an unforgettable lineup of live performances, engaging activities, and heartfelt moments. Dance to the captivating tunes of the Triangle Pride Band, feel the excitement of a dazzling drag show, and immerse yourself in the magical world of a queer children's story hour led by our very own Woodlake resident, Ayva Miller.
Woodlake Pride is more than just an event; it's a testament to our commitment to unity and inclusivity. We invite you to be part of this incredible celebration by volunteering your time and skills. If you're passionate about supporting the LGBTQ+ community and want to contribute to the success of Woodlake Pride, please email us and/or join our Facebook group to let us know!
Mark your calendars and get ready to embrace the true spirit of Woodlake Pride!
