Hundreds gather in Pittsburg for annual Pride Fest

PITTSBURG, Kan. — The 2024 Pride Fest in Pittsburg was held today in Lincoln Park.

This is the third time this Pride Fest has returned to Pittsburg, Kansas.

Hundreds of people came out to show some pride or support the cause.

Over 25 vendors set up to give information out and show off their pride merchandise.

The event also held a best dressed and dog costume competition and held three different drag shows in the evening.

“It’s a sense of community, even if it is a small town like Pittsburg it’s still so important to represent yourself anyway you want and that’s what we are here for, we are here for love and community,” said Maxine Knoph, Pittsburg Kansas Pride Secretary.

“It feels pretty nice actually because over the years I didn’t have people I could go talk to about things like sexuality or race and that stuff, it’s like now I can, I have people I can go talk to, hang out with,” said Asben Williams, he/they.

“It’s amazing, it is absolutely wonderful to know there are people out there that will support you and who you are,” said Avery Haraughy.

The next Pittsburg Pride event will be at TJ Leland’s in August.
