Poughkeepsie Pride

Celebrate Pride Month in Dutchess and join the Poughkeepsie Pride March and Festival, which is always held on the second Saturday in June. The festival will feature local queer-owned businesses, food vendors, and activities for children and families. The Dutchess County Pride Center is a safe place for members of the LGBTQ+ community, including youth, young adults, their families and allies, to feel comfortable and free to express themselves. The goal is to support, educate and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, including LGBTQ+ youth and their families, through outreach, support groups and social events.
