Butler County Pride

06/14/2026

Hello everyone,

We apologize for the silence this year. There is some of us who have been going through health issues and could not put our full attention to planning a successful Pride event for the Poplar Bluff community this month.

However, a complete seperate organization, Pride of the Heartland announced a few months back that they are planning on doing a Fall Pride here in Poplar Bluff. Please reach out to them for further details on that.

We are hopeful that we will be back to hosting summer Pride Fest in June 2027. We do apologize for the lack of communication about a summer Pride Fest.

We do wish everyone a Happy Pride Month. Please be safe while celebrating the history and love of the community! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌈🤍

We are disappointed with the event turnout today. A few board members and community members made considerable efforts to optimize the outcome. However, the date changes, which affected former board members, created unnecessary disruptions. We extend our sincerest apologies for all inconveniences. We hope to have a bigger, better Butler County Pride 2026 with new opportunities for new board members to join us in helping plan the bigger, better Pride for Butler County Pride. For those who made today's event possible and attended, we express our heartfelt gratitude. We look forward to seeing you all again next year, and welcoming new attendees.

(The event is still happening until 4pm and drag shows starts in about 15 minutes so you have time to still make it!)

Pride in the Park and the After Party will now be on 06/29/25, due to the incoming rain. Unfortunately, the day's activities are all outdoors. We hope you still join us in the celebration of PRIDE.
