Northern Nevada Pride is an annual pride parade and festival in Reno, Nevada organized by Our Center, northern Nevada's only LGBTQ+ community center.[2][3][4] Past performers include Amadour,[5] Kerri Colby, Dawn, and Suzie Toot.[6][7]
The first Northern Nevada Pride was held on July 26, 2014 as part of Artown.[8][9][10] Originally held in Wingfield Park and Downtown Reno, the event now features a parade and festival in MidTown Reno.[11] The second Northern Nevada Pride was held on July 21, 2018. The Reno Gazette-Journal reported hundreds of attendees, with many celebrating Obergefell v. Hodges. Lance Bass attended as a special guest.[12] The third pride festival was attended by the mayor of Reno, Hillary Schieve.[13] The organizers reported they had their highest turnout yet in 2018.[14] The event was held virtually in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[15] The event was held in-person the following year, with 14,000 estimated attendees.[16] In 2023, the festival was moved from July to September due to hot weather. In 2025, it was physically moved from Wingfield Park to Midtown due to ongoing construction.[17][18]
