Pride in the Valley was created in 2019 to celebrate the promise of the future while resonating the message of the past. The festival’s purpose is not only to bring together diverse members of the community but also to honor individuals who have fought for our ability to celebrate in a public way. The festival is a way to fuse together a fun atmosphere for everyone to feel comfortable in and the message that all people; no matter their sexuality, gender identity, gender expression, HIV status, age, race, ethnicity, religion, or other determining factors; have the right to live life to the fullest. The event is not only a day of festivities, but a way for Full Spectrum Community Outreach to continue to support the community by raising funds for multiple aspects of the Center that are available year round and open to all members of the community.
