Mt. Vernon Pride in the Park

Pride In The Park returns on May 30th, 2026, at the Rolland Lewis Building in Veterans Park, right here in Mt. Vernon, Illinois.
Beginning at 10 AM, we welcome the entire LGBTQIA community—and all allies—to join us for a full day of celebration. Enjoy an exciting lineup of vendors, food, music, entertainment, resources, and more as we come together in pride and joy.

Admission is completely free.

Bring some cash if you’d like to shop LGBTQIA‑themed merchandise or support local and queer‑owned businesses and artists.
We still have vendor spots and sponsorship opportunities available. If you’re interested in setting up a booth, performing, volunteering, or sponsoring this year’s event or upcoming events please email Out.Mt.Vernon@gmail.com for details.
