Rainbow Pride of West Virginia – Charleston, WV
Based in Charleston, Rainbow Pride of West Virginia is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides social and educational resources to the state’s LGBT community and our friends & allies. We host numerous events throughout the year including our annual Parade & Festival each June in downtown Charleston and the Miss & Mr Pride of West Virginia Pageant.

Rainbow Pride is made up of a 9-member Board of Directors, several subsidiary committees, and an ever-growing General Membership. We are always on the lookout for new volunteers and new ideas, so don’t hesitate to contact us if you’d like to get involved.
Rainbow Pride was founded in 1996 and our first Parade and Festival was held on the grounds of the West Virginia State Capitol a year later. We have grown over the years and evolved as the times have changed, but we always aim to remain dedicated to serving our region’s LGBT community.
Our 2013 Pride Parade & Festival is set for Sunday, June 9th at Haddad Riverfront Park. Pride Week kicks off on Saturday, June 1st with the Miss & Mr. Pride of WV Pageant at the Charleston Civic Center. Look for our Pride Guide at all your favorite gay and gay-friendly businesses beginning around the first of May. Additional events will be added to the calendar as June approaches.
As always, we extend our sincere thanks to all of our volunteers and to everyone who attends our events throughout the year. We’d also like to acknowledge each of our members and supporters. Our organization depends on donations from small businesses and private individuals for a substantial portion of our operating budget and we couldn’t do it without you. We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate our fabulous 18th year!
