Welcome to the first annual Truckee Pride Week, a celebration of diversity, inclusivity, and love in our mountain town, happening June 3rd-9th, 2024! Truckee Pride is a grassroots organization working to make Truckee a diverse and welcoming place for people of all genders and sexual orientations. In celebration of and in alliance with the LGBTQIA2S+ community, a week-long series of events, activities, and gatherings will take place in the town of Truckee and the surrounding area. Check out their website here!
“Small mountain towns can be challenging places for members of the queer community,” says David Mack, Founder and Lead Organizer of Truckee Pride. “We are excited to create a highly inclusive space where anyone and everyone can come, feel safe and celebrated, and enjoy all the great things Truckee has to offer.”
