Biggest PrideFest After Dark Ever!
You blew us away Joliet, and we love you for it!!! 
With the daytime PrideFest postponed due to the rain, we were a little concerned that folks wouldn’t show up for PrideFest After Dark. Boy were we wrong! 
Not only did folks show up, the theater was filled to capacity – the biggest PrideFest After Dark ever!!! Keep this up and we’ll have to book a larger venue next year.
Seriously, though. it’s the people that attend our events that make our events what they are. The energy last night was electric, the queens put on phenomenal performances, and we dare say a good time was had by all. It was so amazing we can hardly wait to do it again next year!
So, thank you to everyone who showed up last night to have a good time and to show support for the Joliet Pride Network. We couldn’t have done it without you.
Congratulations to our 2026 Miss Joliet PrideFest Selena Rivera!!! You were our runner up so many times, and we’re ecstatic your perseverance paid off.
