We are thrilled to announce the 12th Annual Columbus Georgia LGBTQ+ Pride Festival, hosted by Colgay Pride, taking place on Saturday, June 7th, 2025, from 9 AM to 11 PM at the beautiful Woodruff Riverfront Park. This year’s event promises to be our biggest and best yet, featuring a new, larger location with more vendor spots, food truck locations, a special splash pad, and a playground for the kids. We are also excited to introduce our first BiCity Pride Parade!

In light of recent actions by the current administration, including the removal of LGBTQ+ resources from the White House website and the official recognition of only male and female sexes, it is more important than ever for our community to stand united. These actions have marginalized our community, and we need your support to show that Columbus, Georgia, stands for inclusivity, diversity, and equality.

We are reaching out to every business in Columbus to join us as a sponsor for this vital event. Your sponsorship will not only help us cover the new costs associated with our larger venue but also send a powerful message of solidarity and support to the LGBTQ+ community. By becoming a sponsor, your business will receive:

• A dedicated vendor spot at the festival

• Your business name on the Official Pride 2025 T-shirt, program, and website

• A digital certificate of sponsorship

This is a time-sensitive request, and we need to raise funds as early as possible to ensure the success of this event. Payments can be made via check payable to Colgay Pride Inc., sent to 4214 16th Avenue, Columbus, Georgia 31904, or through Debit, Credit, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, and Chime. Simply text “PAYMENT25” to [phone redacted], and we will assist you with the payment process.

Colgay Pride has a proud 12-year history of excellence, and with your support, we can continue to create a safe and celebratory space for the LGBTQ+ community. This year’s festival is not just an opportunity to make money and build connections but also a chance to do the right thing and stand up for equality.
