Along with the Greater Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce, our co-founding and co-organizing partner, and many other community partners across Greater Cape Ann, we were able to present the first-ever, full-scale Cape Ann Pride Weekend in June of 2024.

And we’re coming back to help us all “Survive and Thrive with Pride in 2025!”

With your help and sponsorships we’re putting together another weekend (and beyond!) full of pride, celebration, community, education, fun, and support for all LGBTQIA+ people and their Allies.

We aim to be especially inclusive and supportive of trans and non-binary youth, LGBTQIA+ youth in general, and LGBTQIA+ people of color of all ages, and aim to remain consciously intersectional and antiracist.

From raising Progress Pride flags in multiple communities, to a family-friendly bowling day, to an exciting new event we can’t announce just yet, to our signature “Pride on the Pier” Tea Dance, Cape Ann Pride 2025 promises to continue to build the tradition a coordinated Pride Weekend (always the Thursday-Sunday after Memorial Day) centered on and for the Greater Cape Ann community for many years to come.

Get involved by sending an email to info@capeannpride.org, following us on Facebook and Instagram, and using the hashtags #CapeAnnPride2025 and #SurviveAndThrive2025

HAPPY CAPE ANN PRIDE!—We’ll see you at events year-round…

…and again for the “main” weekend, May 29 — June 1, 2025!
