SHOW YOUR SUPPORT WHILE REACHING TENS OF THOUSANDS IN THE QUEER COMMUNITY!

Capital PRIDE is a week-long celebration commemorating the gay rights movement. 

The CAPITAL PRIDE Festival is the largest in upstate New York and one of the Capital Region’s biggest events. Each June, Capital PRIDE draws over 30,000 people in celebration of the LGBTQ community. This is the most important advertising opportunity to connect with LGBTQ community members. 

Benefits and Reach: Thousands of readers keep the PRIDE Guide as a souvenir of Capital PRIDE and re-read it throughout PRIDE Week and the entire year. Attendees take special note and remember ads with messages of support, celebration, unity, etc. By associating your message with Capital PRIDE, you directly link with the core identities of this important demographic.

The PRIDE Guide is a conversation piece- attendees notice and share with their friend’s ads that pique their interest because they are associated with PRIDE. PRIDE Guides are kept as commemorative souvenirs - your ad will be seen, and your message remembered beyond the celebration.

Each June, Capital PRIDE draws over 40,000 people in celebration of the LGBTQ community.
