Pride AfterDark is our response to devastating state & federal budget cuts that resulted in a loss of two years of funding for our Pride festival and have posed major obstacles to the funding of local LGBTQ programs. We are resisting and conjuring a night of queer revelry, creepy couture, and spooky chaos to help keep our dream alive. We are f(r)ighting for our future — and we need your help!

So grab your fiercest costume, hit up the ghouls, the demonic dolls, and call your coven, for Pride AfterDark! Join us for the spookiest way to give back this season! This is one pride after party you don't wanna miss!!! Pride AfterDark is Spooky Post-Pride Halloween Experience At the Benton County SCARE-grounds (Fairgrounds + Event Center).
