Join us July 15th

Leander Pride and Cedar Park Pride are teaming up to host a joint event July 15, 2023 to raise awareness about issues facing the LGBTQIA+ community, provide a fun, safe space to celebrate everyone, and equip local allies with insight and information to help support our community. It will feature community speakers, vendors, performers, music, food trucks, and family-friendly activities.

Thanks to our sponsors, this event is free, but you must have registered in advance to receive a wristband for admission. Advance ticket registrations have ended, and we have released a limited quantity for day-of registration, subject to availability.

Livestream

For those who are unable to join us in person, the Live Oak team has limited broadcasting capabilities and will host a livestream of selected sessions as they are available.
