DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT - NOW THROUGH MAY 2ND!

About Us

Our Mission:

“Davis County Pride celebrates, uplifts, and provides a platform for LGBTQ+ artists, creators, individuals, and communities through our annual PRIDE Festival, community partnerships, and supplemental year-round programming.”

Our Story:

Davis County Pride was first formed in 2021 in response to Davis County Schools' ban on PRIDE flags in schools. Born out of a need for queer students and their allies to be seen and feel the love and support of the community Davis County Pride was formed.

Since then we have grown and become a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and our annual festival has become one of the biggest in the state of Utah drawing nearly 5,000 people each year.
