Pride Worcester

What’s important when it comes to the City of Worcester, Massachusetts’ investments in and support for arts & culture in our city?

The City is updating its Cultural Plan, and taking this survey is a way to make sure our voices are heard in that process.

It takes about 10 minutes. Link in caption below.

Last chance to help shape Worcester’s next Cultural Plan!

If you live, work, study, create, do business or spend time in Worcester, we want to hear what you think should strengthen arts and culture over the next five years. Take about 10 minutes to share your input before the survey closes — and enter the optional prize drawing for two prize packages (valued at $75+) provided by Worcester cafes, restaurants and service providers.

Creating spaces where LGBTQ+ young people can feel safe, supported, celebrated, and completely themselves is a vital part of what Pride Worcester is all about. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

We’re so grateful to the Massachusetts Commission on LGBTQ Youth, our 2026 Pride Worcester Festival Youth Zone Sponsor, for helping us create that space at this year’s festival — and for the work they do to support LGBTQ+ youth across the Commonwealth all year long.

Thank you, MA Commission on LGBTQ Youth! 🌈

This year’s Pride Worcester Festival was proud to be part of the official MA250 celebration, marking 250 years of Massachusetts history while making sure LGBTQIA+ stories, voices, and communities are part of the story we tell. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

We’re incredibly grateful to MA250 for joining us as an Out & Proud Sponsor and helping us uplift people who continue to shape Massachusetts today.

Here’s to honoring where we’ve been, celebrating who we are, and making history together.

Thank you, MA250! ♥️

Showing some love to our 2026 Pride Worcester Festival Presenting Sponsor: Eastern Bank. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

They put their money where their mouth is — standing shoulder to shoulder with us to not only make Central Massachusetts’ largest Pride celebration possible, but to show our LGBTQIA+ community that they are seen, valued, and supported.

Now THAT’S allyship in action.

Thank you, Eastern Bank! We’re deeply grateful for all your support.
