Since our founding in 2017, Ames Pride has been planning and organizing events that bring the queer community together in Ames. We’re here to build opportunities to socialize, learn, and make positive change for LGBTQIA+ people.

Pridefest is Ames Pride’s flagship event that combines a vendor fair, educational opportunities, and entertainment into one great day! We hold Pridefest in the fall to allow Iowa State students and staff a better chance of participating. In addition to Pridefest, Ames Pride offers events at least once every quarter that center queer community and outreach.

Ames Pride is committed to fostering a safe, diverse, and welcoming environment at each of our events and for our volunteers. We can’t wait to meet you at the next Ames Pride gathering.
