Poughkeepsie Pride 2026

Come join the Mid-Hudson Valley's largest Pride March, returning for its 8th Year!

A powerful expression of love and unity on the waterfront of the Queen City, Poughkeepsie Pride is a March & Festival spread across the City of Poughkeepsie, culminating in the celebration on the banks of the Hudson River.

ABOUT POUGHKEEPSIE PRIDE

Dutchess County Pride Center was the brainchild of five Dutchess County parents who refused to accept the lack of a local LGBTQ+ organization to provide support to their trans children. One of the first events the Center did was the inaugural 2019 PKGO Pride Parade & Festival, starting on historic Market Street in the City of Poughkeepsie and culminating at the beautiful waterfront Waryas Park.

Every June since, Dutchess Pride has continue to host a monthlong celebration of pride and diversity which includes numerous social events throughout Dutchess County. Additional past events have included picnics, get-togethers, fun runs, author's talks, and theatrical performances.

The annual Poughkeepsie Pride March & Festival is always held on the second Saturday in June.
