2012 Pride Festival and Parade

Pride first was organized Omaha, Nebraska on June 29th, 1985 by the Imperial Court of Nebraska and was located in Midtown's Turner Park (Present Day Midtown Crossing) with 60 participants.   It is now developed into an annual cultural festival and parade with over 7,000 participants representing a diverse community with the mission of promoting equality and celebrating our diversity.  From the popular beer garden and drag entertainers to live music, community booths, merchandise, artists, family area and entertainment, the 2012 PRIDE Cultural Festival and Parade is geared to have something for our diverse community.   Want to lend your talents, voice and time?  GET INVOLVED!  Call us at 402-965-1539 email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
