Can’t make it to Washington, DC, for the National Equality March on Sunday, October 11?  Then come join Rainbow Pride of West Virginia at our annual Pride Picnic at Coonskin Park’s Riverside Pavilion just ten minutes from downtown Charleston.  We can’t all make it to the big event, but we can show our solidarity and lend our voices to millions of others wherever we happen to be.  So come party with us as we celebrate Equality, Diversity, and Unity.

October 11 is also National Coming Out Day.  What better way to celebrate than to get together with your LGBT brothers and sisters from around the state and let everyone know that you’re proud to be who you are!

This year’s picnic will feature live music from the great Charleston-area band, the VooDoo Katz, who will be playing from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.   After that, there will be a drag show starring several of your favorite local gender illusionists.  Admission is free and your Pride committee will be providing free food and soft drinks.  Plenty of free parking is available, but there are LIMITED reserved parking spaces near the Pavillion. To reserve a space, you MUST become a sponsor by clicking here or by writing us at contact@pridewv.org.  Sponsorship also includes two free t-shirts and a mention from the stage.

The picnic begins at noon and continues until dusk.  You can click here for more information on Coonskin Park, including directions.
