Dear Supporters of Ogden Pride,

As we prepare for our 12th Annual Ogden Pride Festival, we stand united under our powerful theme: RESIST. PERSIST. EXIST. In a world where our community members face increasing political attacks, it is more important than ever to make our voices heard and our pride visible. This year’s festival will be a bold statement of strength, unity, and resilience.

At Ogden Pride, we are dedicated to supporting the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in Northern Utah. Our mission is to foster cultural and educational experiences that promote belonging, ensuring that everyone in our community feels seen, valued, and empowered.

Over the past more than decade, the Ogden Pride Festival has grown from a small gathering to a vibrant, impactful event with over 150 local artists, merchandise vendors, food vendors, resource hubs, and an estimated 6,000 attendees. This year, we are continuing our celebration with two days of events with a location near and dear to our hearts, the Ogden Amphitheater. This year with the change of season, came the change of our dates, from October 3rd & 4th, 2026. This also brought in some new features, like shifting our vendors from the park to 25th street and expanding the festival space between Washington Blvd and Grant Ave.

We are excited to announce the following events:

• Our Saturday event, still in the works but guaranteed to be as epic as ever
• The Ogden Pride Festival on Sunday, October 4th from 11 AM to 6 PM at the Ogden Amphitheater and 25th Street

To make this happen, we need to match a $55,000 grant, and we’re counting on your support to help us reach this goal. Sponsorships are vital in covering the costs of this festival and ensuring it remains free and accessible to everyone. While in-kind donations are invaluable, the financial support from our sponsors will lift the burden on our community and allow us to keep the festival accessible to all. Your contributions—whether through financial support or volunteer power—are essential to the festival’s success.

We invite you to join us as a sponsor for the 12th Annual Ogden Pride Festival, and help us continue this tradition of celebration and solidarity we started over a decade ago, Please contact us to discuss sponsorship opportunities and the benefits at each level. Once we have communicated, we will send you a link to our application and registration process, with any needed details to submit your company’s information.

Thank you for your continued support of Ogden Pride. In the heart of downtown Ogden, we celebrate community, culture, and connection while also declaring to RESIST. PERSIST. EXIST.

Sincerely,
Sean Childers-Gray
President, Board of Directors
