Pride St. Charles

Pride St. Charles promotes equality for the LGBTQIA+ community within St. Charles County. St. Charles PFLAG was the proud sponsor for Pride St. Peters, MO. Charles!

Charles for the first two years. The first ever pride event in St. Charles County took place at St. Charles Community College May 30, 2015. We had 3,500 attendees! Our second year, we moved our annual festival to the beautiful 370 Lakeside Park in St. We welcomed 7,000 attendees to our 2016 festival in the beautiful setting. In August, 2016, Pride St. Charles became it's own 501(c)(3)! We are now

on our own and ready to spread our wings in our community even farther. Many thanks to St. Charles PFLAG for supporting us our first two years, we are forever grateful! Our third annual St. Charles Pride Festival was a huge success welcoming over 10,000 attendees to the LGBTQIA+ event in its new scenic location of Frontier Park in Historic Downtown St. The support of the community, businesses, and organizations has been incredible and an integral part in the growth and success of Pride St. Charles through the years.

Here’s to joy, visibility, acceptance, and pride all year long. Happy Pride Month! Can't wait to see you at the festival! 🏳️‍🌈✨

Our Pride festival will be missing someone incredibly important this year. Our extraordinary President, Beth, is currently fighting cancer. Beth has poured so much love, time, and heart into Pride St. Charles and into building a stronger, safer, and more connected LGBTQ+ community for all of us.

As we approach Pride Month and all of the joy, celebration, and togetherness that comes with it, we ask that you please keep Beth in your thoughts. While she may not be physically with us at every event this season, her impact will be felt in every rainbow flag waved, every hug shared, every performance cheered on, and every person who feels seen and accepted because of the community she helped create.

The 2026 Pride St. Charles Festival will continue on, and this year, we celebrate with even more purpose, love, and gratitude. We will honor Beth by showing up for one another, supporting our community, and continuing the work of building bridges and building community.

Let’s show Beth just how strong, compassionate, and amazing the greater St. Charles LGBTQ+ community truly is. Together, we will continue to stand proud, stand united, and stand strong. 💜🏳️‍🌈

Families come in all shapes, sizes, and stories, and every one of them deserves to be seen, respected, and celebrated. 💛

Today, on International Family Equality Day, we honor the love that makes a family, not the labels that try to limit it. Whether your family is chosen, blended, single-parent, LGBTQ+, multigenerational, or something uniquely your own, your family matters.

Let’s continue building a world where every family is valued, protected, and free to thrive. 🌍✨
