After taking the day to rest & recuperate, Colorado West Pride has so, so many wonderful people to thank for helping to make this year's Pride events truly unforgettable! 🏳️‍🌈❤️

A HUGE thank you to Hilltop Community Resources, Inc. for giving us a space downtown to host this year's Pride Festival - we received so many compliments from the community on the location & space, and we are so grateful for your partnership.

Thank you to our local leaders at the City of Grand Junction for continuing to recognize Grand Junction Pride Week during this month's city council meeting.

Thank you to the wonderful venues who hosted our various parties & events. Your teams were incredibly helpful & kind to everyone and made hosting events smooth and simple: Mesa Theater, Good Judy’s, Pour Fellows, The Goat and Clover Tavern.

Thank you to our gracious sponsors & partners who came together to provide us the funding and resources needed to put everything together: Colorado Dept. of Local Affairs, 988 Colorado, Loving Beyond Understanding, Rainbow Closet, Base Camp Beer Works, Gemini Beer Company, Quincy Bar, SoCo Social House, Pepsi, Bud Light.

Thank you to all the of the incredibly talented entertainers and performers, coming from all across Colorado and beyond to celebrate with us!

And thank you to the many, many, MANY volunteers who kept our events moving & running beautifully. It truly takes a village to make this week happen, and we couldn't have dreamed for a better team.

Colorado West Pride is honored to have worked with all of you to continue bringing Pride to the LGBTQIA+ community of our Western Slope! Pride is important - it is a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of our community. It is a time to honor the past, celebrate the present, and pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable future. And it is a defiant, joyful demonstration of our right to exist, love, and be celebrated for exactly who you are. Thank you all for exemplifying these truths in everything you do. 🏳️‍🌈❤️

💯 So glad to have Loving Beyond Understanding hosting a safe space for folks to take a break from the rowdy & recharge. No competition, just good collaboration! 🏳️‍🌈💙

We want to clarify: Quiet Pride is not a competing event. This is a supplementary event to the one being hosted by Colorado West Pride, and we strongly encourage you to attend both! The Center is only a 10 minute walk from the festival site for you to stop in when you need a break and then come back with your batteries fully charged! We will be open from 4PM-7PM both days!

And if you just wanna hang out, we'll be at the festival too! So come see us!
