Glens Falls, NY - Lower Adirondack Pride will host the 4th Annual Lower Adirondack Pride Festival on Sunday, June 7, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Glens Falls City Park, bringing together thousands for a day of celebration, visibility, and community.
Founded in 2023 in just 27 days, the Festival has grown rapidly into one of the region’s most anticipated events. The inaugural Festival welcomed 1,500 attendees, and by 2025, attendance had surged to nearly 10,000 people. Alongside the Festival’s growth, Lower Adirondack Pride has expanded its impact — now hosting more than 100 events annually, offering year-round programming, and building a strong presence in advocacy and community support across the region.
This year’s Festival will feature more than 80 vendors, reaching full capacity weeks in advance — a testament to the overwhelming community support and excitement surrounding the event. Attendees can expect a full day of live entertainment, including a performance by Bravely, featuring sisters Briar, Avery, and Finley Magee, Keegan James, an LGBTQIA+ pop artist from the Capital Region, and two vibrant drag shows featuring local performers.
The day will kick off at 11 a.m. with opening ceremonies, including remarks from Lower Adirondack Pride President Cam Cardinale, Assemblymember Carrie Woerner, Glens Falls Mayor Diana Palmer, presenting sponsors, and other community leaders. Following the ceremony, a community march will move through the downtown district, celebrating pride, visibility, and unity.
“Each year, this Festival grows because our community continues to show up — louder, prouder, and more connected than ever before. What started as something we built in just a few weeks has become a powerful space for celebration, visibility, and belonging. This day is about joy, about being seen, and about creating a community where everyone knows they are welcome, valued, and supported. We’re proud to bring something to Glens Falls that is not only vibrant and affirming, but truly for everyone,” said Cam Cardinale, President of Lower Adirondack Pride.
The Festival will also feature a wide variety of family-friendly activities, food trucks, community resources, and interactive experiences throughout the park, making it a welcoming and inclusive event for attendees of all ages.
Now recognized as the largest one-day free event in Glens Falls, the Lower Adirondack Pride Festival continues to serve as a powerful reminder of the region’s growing commitment to inclusion, celebration, and support for LGBTQIA+ individuals and families.
