Come out for Lawrenceville Pride 2025!
Lawrenceville Corporation is thrilled to be hosting the third annual Lawrenceville Pride from Friday, June 13th – Sunday June 15th, 2025. This weekend will feature a series of events and opportunities throughout Lawrenceville, as local businesses show their pride, love, and support for the LGBTQIA+ community. We invite all residents, businesses, and visitors to join us for a weekend full of fun, celebration, acknowledgement, support, and love for all ages!
Lawrenceville has always been a community where artists, creatives, hard workers, and community-minded people gather and grow. We are a community built strong with residents, visitors, and business owners alike. It is more important than ever before to come together and be loud and proud!
Lawrenceville Pride is designed to offer opportunities for the community to support local small businesses that continually provide essential resources to our queer neighbors. An inclusive event that promotes equality, selflessness, and love.
Queer and allied business owners in Lawrenceville strive to create a safe and comforting environment resulting in a more impactful event each year. As the community continues to grow, our hope is to make LV Pride as effective as possible in providing a cherished experience for the community.
This year, we will have several organizations and support groups sharing their resources for the community as a reminder that Pittsburgh has LGBTQ+ folks’ backs and the support and love we have available in the city is not going anywhere. As a community built on solidarity and trust, Lawrenceville is committed to protecting and supporting our neighbors beyond this event and the month of June and we need YOU to do the same. We appreciate the continued support of so many small businesses and we can’t wait to see you at Lawrenceville Pride 2025!
