PrideFest 2026 Kickoff Meeting

Get ready to paint the city with every color of the rainbow! Joliet PrideFest 2026 is just around the corner, and we need your energy, your passion, and your community spirit to make this year’s celebration the most historic one yet.

Whether you’re a long-time resident or new to the area, this is your chance to stand loud and proud at Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park.

PrideFest only happens because of volunteers like you. By getting involved, you aren’t just helping run a festival—you are creating a safe, joyous space for LGBTQ+ individuals and allies across Will County to feel seen, heard, and celebrated.

There are many committees to be filled, so whatever your passion is – from decorations to logistics – there is a place for you in planning this year’s PrideFest.
