Together WE Rise!

So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth. 

– Baha’U’Llah

Nowhere is this spirit and enthusiasm more apparent than during SCP's  two day festival featuring world-class entertainers, DJs, family friendly activities, and FINALLY a PARADE! Star City Pride brings together members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community, their friends, allies, and supporters in celebration of the unique spirit and culture of the LGBTQ community. Pride unites, educates, and engages people to support and empower the LGBTQ+ community and our allies.
