Lambertville NJ Pride Parade and Fair

The Annual Pride Parade, the signature event of New Hope Celebrates PrideFest will kick off in Lambertville, NJ before marching into New Hope on Saturday, May 17th, 2025. The parade and fair continue to highlight the diverse and inclusive communities of New Hope and Lambertville.
The parade will begin at 11am where New Jersey’s first same-sex marriages were performed in 2013 – Lambertville City Hall and continue down Bridge Street into Pennsylvania, making it the only Pride Parade which crosses a state line.

Following the Parade, join us for the Pride Fair at the end of South Main St. open to the public in the Legion parking lot at the corner of New St. and South Main St. There will be vendors and live entertainment from 12 pm to 5:00 pm. Open to all, this fun-filled day brings everyone together to celebrate diversity. Cash bars are available. Admission proceeds will benefit New Hope Celebrates and all PrideFest events.st

The theme is: “Together, We Rise! – Defying Fear, Embracing Hope”
“With threats to LGBTQ+ rights looming, PrideFest 2025 will remind us all that unity is stronger than fear,” said Melissa Patterson, President of NHC. “We defy fear, standing against discrimination and oppression, and we embrace hope, continuing to build a future of love, acceptance, and equality. This year, we rise together—stronger, prouder, and more determined than ever to celebrate love in all its forms.” 🐦‍🔥
