Pride Festival of Central PA, alternatively called PrideFest of Central PA, is a non-profit which hosts a three-day annual gay pride event that takes place in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
History[]
The first pride event in Central Pennsylvania took place in Linglestown, Pennsylvania in the late 1980's. From there it was moved to Ski Roundtop and Harrisburg Area Community College before eventually finding a permanent home in Riverfront Park in 1992, when it was also formed as a non-profit. The festival now features musical acts, drag queens, and attracts thousands of attendees. In 2018, it became the first Pride to ever take place on a US State Capitol when it was held at the Pennsylvania State Capitol. In 2020 and 2021, the Festival was cancelled due to concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.
