🧡 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: OUR ALLIES & SUPPORTERS 🧡

Pride weekend is almost here, and it’s time to thank the Allies & Supporters who help keep PBO Pride free and open to everyone. 💜

🏘️ MOSAIC at Chatham Park

🔒 Safe Haven Security Inc.

🥾 Chatham Outfitters

🧸 Pittsboro Toys

☕ The Chatham Rabbit

💅 The Nail Faerie

Small businesses and local partners like these are the roots of a small-town Pride. Their support helps cover the stages, the sound, the tents, the Kid Zone, and everything else that makes a free festival possible — and it tells LGBTQ+ people in Chatham County that their neighbors are standing with them. 🌱🏳️‍🌈

Thank you, all, for being Allies & Supporters of PBO Pride 2026 and helping us stay Rooted & Rising! 🧡

🍽️ SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: THE SYCAMORE AT CHATHAM MILLS 🍽️

Dinner and a show, Pittsboro style. ✨

Set inside a restored early-1900s textile mill in historic Pittsboro, The Sycamore at Chatham Mills is a chef-driven restaurant where hand-cut steaks and local seafood share the table with handcrafted cocktails and live piano every night (Jazz Night on Wednesdays). A six-time Best of Chatham winner — and now an LGBTQ+ Advocate sponsor of PBO Pride 2026. 💜

Open Tuesday–Saturday, 5–9 PM, which makes it a pretty perfect spot for a Pride-weekend celebration dinner. 🥂

🐷 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: PIEDMONT FARM ANIMAL REFUGE 🐷

Our next LGBTQ+ Advocate sponsor is a Pittsboro sanctuary where rescued farm animals get to live out their lives in peace. 💜

Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge provides lifelong care to rescued chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, goats, sheep, and cows — each one with a story of their own — while educating people about the realities of animal agriculture and building a community around compassion. You can visit for a tour, volunteer, or sponsor an animal who lives there. 🐔🐐🐄

A place rooted in care and second chances feels right at home with Rooted & Rising. 🌱

Our next LGBTQ+ Advocate sponsor keeps communities running behind the scenes. 💜

Resource Property Management — RPM Property Pros — is a North Carolina property management company specializing in commercial properties, commercial associations, and homeowner associations.

And they’re back with PBO Pride for another year. 🌱

🎺 ENTERTAINMENT SPOTLIGHT: BOOM UNIT BRASS BAND 🎺

Get ready to second line, Pittsboro. 🎷✨

Leading the PBO Pride Parade on Sunday is Boom Unit Brass Band — the Triangle’s own take on New Orleans brass. Trumpets, trombones, and saxophones over a funky drumbeat, landing somewhere between a traditional second line band and the tighter sound of the Youngbloods. They go straight from the parade to the stage, and they’ve built a devoted following at venues and festivals all over North Carolina. 🎶🌈

Here’s how to be part of it:

📍 Line up at 2:45 PM at the Parade Start (it’s marked on the festival map)

🎺 At 3:00 PM we roll — Boom Unit out front, Imagine Circus stilt walkers alongside

🪧 Bring your signs, your banners, your decorated bikes, wagons, and scooters — everyone is welcome to walk with us! 🏳️‍🌈

🎶 Boom Unit Brass Band
🥁 Pride Parade: 3:00 PM (line-up 2:45 PM)
📅 Sunday, October 18
⏰ Festival: 11 AM–5 PM
📍 The Plant | Pittsboro, NC
✨ FREE • All ages

🐱 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: MEOW CITY 🐱

This one’s for the cat people. 😻

Meow City is a one-of-a-kind boutique in Cary dedicated entirely to cats and the humans who love them — from toys and treats to gifts for the cat-obsessed — and they regularly open their doors for adoption events with local rescues. In other words: a small business with a very big heart. 💜

We’re so glad to have them in our corner as an LGBTQ+ Advocate sponsor this year. 🌱

Thank you, Meow City, for supporting PBO Pride 2026 and helping us stay Rooted & Rising! 🧡

Having health care partners who say that out loud — and mean it — matters to our community. 🌱
