2023 Season

Greetings!

The Mid-Missouri PrideFest Planning Committee is excited to announce that preparations are underway for Mid-Mo Pride 2023, scheduled for September 23rd & 24th at Rose Music Hall and surrounding streets in Columbia, MO, with our annual parade taking place on Sunday, the 24th at noon!

We continue to embrace change and strive to produce events that inspire, educate, commemorate, and celebrate our diverse community and culture with and for Mid-Missouri. After an amazing 2022, we are excited to announce that we are back bigger, better, and prouder than ever this year. Working with our civic partners we have been able to grow our footprint, yet again! We are thrilled to be able to offer even more vendor space, entertainment, and concessions! This year we will be working diligently to raise awareness and accessibility for all our friends that require additional support to be able to attend this beloved event. This will include a “silent zone” in the parade line-up as well as a “quiet area” within the event itself. We appreciate your support in helping make these additions to include our entire community.

As you know, we can’t put an event like this on without the help of the Mid-Missouri family. Every year we are blown away by the amazing support each of you gives to make this event truly magical for our community. This year, we are beyond excited to announce expanded marketing channels (website, visual marketing, social media, and direct collateral) to promote Pride, drive festival traffic, and let our sponsors shine and celebrate with us!

We appreciate your sponsorship and would love for you to join us! With this year’s added footprint, traffic, and programming we are sure you’ll see a positive impact on your business. You will find the details of all our sponsorship levels enclosed. We have made several changes to the sponsorship packages based on the feedback we received from you! If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions about sponsorship levels we are more than happy to help you navigate our packages and find what works best for your business this year!

Again, we sincerely appreciate your support in making this event a success. You will find sponsorship levels below! Please visit www.midmopride.org/sponsors to claim your spot!

Warm Regards,
