Carlisle Pride exists to uplift and support the LGBTQ+ community in Carlisle and the surrounding areas. We believe in the power of visibility, community, and celebration as forces for change, healing, and joy. Our committee was founded to unite people, regardless of background, orientation, or identity, in the spirit of unity, love, and pride.
Each year in June, we host a full week of Pride events that are open to everyone, regardless of background, orientation, or identity. These events are filled with fun, connection, and love. From the Pride Proclamation Ceremony, pool parties, a Big Gay Walk, drag shows, and more, Pride Week in Carlisle is a time to honor the past, celebrate the present, and build a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
Whether you’re a lifelong resident, a first-time visitor, or someone looking for community, Carlisle Pride welcomes you with open arms.
