What is 500 Loud & Proud?

It is a fundraiser that focuses on individual and small business giving to show how loud & proud YOU are to support Capital City Pride and the LGBTQ+ community, both year-round and during PrideFest Weekend in June. This is our first year and we hope you can help us to make history with this annual campaign that runs through June. Those who sign up in our inaugural year will have the first rights to one of the following year’s limited spots.

The 2023 500 Loud & Proud season has passed, but the 2024 season is open! Your name or business name will be posted to the website in early 2024 and you’ll be included in the 2024 Pride Guide!
