Fort Collins Pride is a nonprofit LGBTQ+ organization serving Fort Collins and Northern Colorado, dedicated to uplifting, supporting, and celebrating the queer community.

Volunteers are the heart of Pride, helping us create a joyful, safe, and welcoming experience for our entire community. 

June 6th at Library Park from 11am-6pm.

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, marks the liberation of over 250,000 enslaved Black Americans in the United States.

Juneteenth asks a simple but powerful question: ​What does freedom look like when it’s fully realized — and who gets to feel it?  That’s why we celebrate. Not just to remember the past, but to shape what comes next. We will be commemorating Juneteenth from June 19-20 in Fort Collins at the Foothills Mall; with special performances from FoCo Motown Revue, Sol Pride, and more! Activities include a teen night, health and wellness events, live entertainment, art, and education.

Join for the fun, or better yet, volunteer!
