🌈💜 Thank You, Shenandoah Valley! 💜🌈

As we wrap up this year’s Shenandoah Valley Pride Festival, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. What an incredible day of love, unity, and celebration!

First, thank you to everyone who came out—our community showed up with joy, courage, and pride, proving once again that the Valley is full of love and resilience.

✨ To our sponsors and partners: Your support made this festival possible. From local businesses to community organizations, you invested in a brighter, more inclusive future. We couldn’t have done it without you.

✨ To our volunteers: You are the heartbeat of Pride. From setup to cleanup, and every smile and helping hand in between, you kept the festival running smoothly.

✨ To our performers and entertainers: You brought the stage to life and reminded us of the power of art, drag, dance, and music to bring people together. Your talent is a gift to our community.

✨ To vendors and nonprofits: Thank you for filling Turner Pavilion with food, resources, color, and culture. You gave people connection, support, and joy.

✨ To city leaders, allies, and friends: Your presence and encouragement mean the world. Every voice for equality helps move us closer to the day where everyone is safe and celebrated exactly as they are.

And finally—to the LGBTQ+ community of the Shenandoah Valley: This day was for YOU, about YOU, and powered BY YOU. Pride is not just a festival; it’s a reminder of our history, our strength, and our future together.

💬 Lesson we carry forward: When a community comes together with love and determination, there is nothing we cannot accomplish.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for making this Pride Festival a success. We can’t wait to see you again next year!

🌈💜 With gratitude and pride,
Shenandoah Valley Pride Alliance
