Wichita Pride, Inc. is an all-volunteer, tax-exempt, not-for-profit corporation which organizes events in the Wichita, Kansas area to encourage, empower, and celebrate the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender community and their friends, families, and supporters. We were incorporated in Wichita, Kansas in 1994, and currently qualify as a 501(c)3 corporation under the codes of the Internal Revenue Service. 

Our steering committee membership is comprised of people from many walks of life and we actively welcome the participation of all regardless of age, creed, gender, gender expression or identity, HIV status, physical or developmental ability, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation or socio-economic status.  We work together to produce LGBT-affirmative events including the annual Pride Parade and Festival, which provides a forum for people, organizations, and businesses to come together and celebrate the LGBT community of Wichita. Early on, the event attracted only a few hundred participants, but has continually grown in size and scope and in 2010 the event attracted nearly 2,500 participants from all over Kansas and in 2011 we plan to be even bigger than ever before.

In addition to the parade and festival, we are involved in a number or events during the year which help to raise the funds we need to fill our mission. We have been involved in concerts, movies, shows, and as we continue to grow, we hope to bring bigger and better entertainment to the area along with our great local entertainment.  We are always seeking new volunteers and supporters to help with our event and organization brainstorming, manpower, or financial donations and invite you to join us in moving the Wichita LGBT community progressively forward for Pride 2011.

Weeklly meetings are open to the public and all are welcome to attend.  We meet at Positive Directions Inc - 414 S. Commerce.  

 Please join us and help us make the 2011 Pride Parade and Festival the best Gay Pride yet!
