(PITTSBURGH) – After taking the week for much-needed rest and relaxation, then getting right back to the work, we at SisTers PGH want to thank all of our sponsors, artists, and attendees for making People’s Pride 2023 a success.
The march was lively, the music was poppin’, and the 45 vendors were educational and enlightening. We also paid all of our performers equitably and in full on the day of the festival.
This is what our annual celebration is all about – community.
As always, we learn from every march and festival, and we plan to make next year’s event even more entertaining and organized. We can’t do what we do without all of you, and we hope you all felt seen and loved on June 25th in Swissvale for People’s Pride PGH, Swissvale Parade & Musical Festival.
We are also proud to announce the Expanding Your Pride program, an informal mini-grant opportunity for TLGBQ+ people to receive $1,500 toward funding their creative vision. If you are part of this community, and you have big plans but just need a little cash to help grease the gears, this is for you.
Please contact us at info@sisterspgh.org for information, including how to apply.
These new opportunities and programs are also part of our decision to move into a bigger space going into the New Year. We can’t wait to be able to continue this vital work and provide even more resources to local Black Trans and queer people.
Stay tuned for more details as they come and for all the amazing photos we captured at Peoples Pride PGH 2023!
SisTers PGH is a Black- and Trans-led 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that serves Trans, queer and nonbinary BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) within southwestern Pennsylvania. Learn more at www.sisterspgh.org.
