For this Giving Tuesday, we are raising funds to go directly towards deposit for the venue.

What started out as a 50-ish people PRIDE picnic in a park in 2021, grew to a 4,000+ attendees festival in 2023, we continue to grow and flourish in the western Inland Empire area, surrounding the City of Riverside. In 2025, we will return bigger and better.

Not going to lie, putting on a festival is expensive. Here's a breakdown of our estimated budget of this year's festival at White Park:

Here's a summary of what each category includes:

Main Stage: Building a stage from scratch, including AV and lighting, and the technicians to run them
Health & Safety: Security and equipment, medical personnel and supplies, portable bathrooms and clean up crew
Programming & Entertainment: Performers, DJs, Speakers, Interpreters, and the things needed to support them
Power & Distribution: Generators and power distribution system
Permits & Insurance: Fun paperwork and insurance
ASL Interpreters: Taking care of our deaf and hoh community
Venue: The place where everything happens
Marketing: We gotta let people know about the event, also photographers and videographers
Decorations: The festive pretty things
Volunteer Accommodations: Rest area, food, t-shirts, taking care of our volunteers
Youth Zone: 17 and under activities and programming
Beer Garden: Adult beverages
Merchandise: Who doesn't like some merch?
Registration: Wristbands, badges, lanyards
