Welcome to the Jersey City LGBTQ+ Pride Festival, a beacon of diversity, inclusivity, and LGBTQ+ celebration that extends its vibrant spirit beyond a single day. Throughout the year, particularly in August—recognized as Jersey City LGBTQ+ Pride Month—this festival stands as a symbol of unity and equality. Drawing a diverse crowd, it is not only a festive gathering but also a platform for visibility, education, and community building.

The 23rd Anniversary Jersey City LGBTQ+ Pride Festival, now 24 consecutive years strong, celebrates the diversity of the LGBTQ+ communities and allies of Hudson County and the New York City Metropolitan area. Last year’s festival Pride Month attracted an estimated 25,000 attendees, showcasing its position as one of the largest pride festivals in New Jersey.

The festival footprint spans Newark Ave between Grove Street and Jersey Ave, as well as the Grove Street PATH Plaza in historic downtown Jersey City. Adjacent to major mass transportation, including PATH Grove Street and buses, it provides easy access for attendees.

The Jersey City LGBTQ+ Pride Festival emphasizes the importance of diversity, fostering a stronger and more accepting community that celebrates the contributions of all individuals to our society. Join us in this celebration of love, diversity, and the spirit of the LGBTQ+ community.
