Support PrideFest 2026

The NC State LGBTQ Pride Center is preparing for our sixth annual PrideFest and is seeking support to make this signature campus tradition a success.

PrideFest brings together LGBTQ+ students, allies, faculty, staff, alumni and community members to celebrate belonging and Wolfpack pride. This year's event will take place on October 6, 2026, beginning with an ADA-accessible campus parade, where colleges and departments are invited to showcase their Pack pride with banners and posters. The celebration continues with the Relax & Restore Lawn Party, featuring music, food trucks, creative activities, campus resources, and opportunities to connect.

Your gift helps bring PrideFest to life and reinforces NC State’s commitment to the Wolfpack community. Together, we can create a celebration that truly reflects the strength, pride and uniqueness of our Wolfpack.

Gifts received after PrideFest will continue to support this year’s event and help build an even stronger celebration next year.

Funds will be placed in the LGBTQ Pride Center Fund. If the project does not meet its fundraising goal, if it receives more funds than it needs, or if the project cannot be completed, funds will be used for the overall enhancement of the NC State LGBTQ Pride Center. Gifts are received by the NC State University Foundation, Inc. and may be distributed to an affiliated foundation that manages the fund supported by the donor.
