Keep Montclair Pride Alive!!!!

For 5 years, Out Montclair has worked to create spaces where LGBTQIA+ people, families, youth, seniors, and allies feel seen, celebrated, and safe.

Today, we need your help.

Like many Pride organizations across the country, Montclair Pride is facing major financial challenges due to rising production costs and significant losses in corporate sponsorship support.

Without immediate community support, this year’s Montclair Pride Festival on Saturday, June 13, 2026 may be canceled.

Montclair Pride is more than a festival. It is a visible declaration that our community belongs here. Every year thousands gather together in joy, visibility, advocacy, and connection under our message:

Be You. Be Heard.

This is the first time in five years that Montclair Pride is at risk of cancellation.

Our immediate goal is to raise $55,000 to cover mandatory municipal public safety costs required to safely hold the event, including:

• Police coverage

• Firefighters

• EMS and emergency services

Every dollar raised will go directly toward these required safety expenses.

We are asking our community to come together and help keep Montclair Pride accessible and free for everyone.

If Montclair Pride has ever inspired you, supported you, connected you, or made you feel less alone, please consider donating and sharing this campaign.

Together, we can keep Montclair Pride alive and celebrate on June 13th with our community and show what solidarity means to Montclair.

With love and pride,

Out Montclair
