We are just a little over one month away from our festival!! This years’ festival is June 6th, 2026. The logo was designed by one of our community members and it’s a powerful one. We hope you love it as much as we do and enjoy all the merch and goodies that will be available with this design! 🏳️‍🌈

A few quick updates:

Vendor and Sponsorship applications are still open and we have a few spots left. If you haven’t gotten your application in yet, send it before it’s too late! All vendors and sponsors will be featured on our website and Rainbow sponsorship level also includes your logo on our festival t-shirts. All applications are linked to our Linktree in our bio.

We are always accepting more volunteer applications for the festival. This is a great way to meet members of the community and get involved! The link to sign up is also available on our Linktree.

We will be at The Oak & Brazen Wine Co. again this year after our festival! More details on that to come… 😄

We hope to see you soon!
