Lorain County Pride 2026

LGBTQ+ Lorain County is pleased to present our annual Lorain County Pride event on Saturday, June 27 from 12-4pm. The event will be held on the North Quad, outside of the Oberlin Science Center.

Lorain County Pride is a free family-friendly event that is open to all. It will feature music by DJ RORO, vendors, belly dancing lessons, food trucks, and plenty of LGBTQ+ comradery!

From 1:30-2:00pm, join us for Bellydance with Melissa Platten and live drummer, Peter Platten. No experience necessary! Move through an accessible, sassy and empowering combo, built to get you dancing immediately and shimmying the rest of the day!

Join us to visit with vendors, enjoy lunch, dance, and enjoy the afternoon as we come together to celebrate the diversity of our community.

The event will be held rain or shine. In the event of inclement weather, we will move the event inside of the Oberlin Science Center building.

Tickets are not required - just show up and join us for an amazing Pride!
