Meet, Mingle, & Pride Fest for ALL 🏳️‍🌈

LGBTQ+ or not?…. doesn’t matter! Join us for a casual social before we head over together to Out! Raleigh Pride, Raleigh’s annual Pride celebration hosted by the LGBT Center of Raleigh.

We’ll start the evening at Roshambo, where you can grab a drink, meet some new people, and connect with fellow Meetup members before walking over to the festival as a group.

What is Out! Raleigh Pride?
Out! Raleigh Pride is a free community festival celebrating diversity, inclusion, and community in downtown Raleigh. The event features live entertainment, local vendors, food, community organizations, and plenty of opportunities to explore and connect with others. While Pride celebrates the LGBTQ+ community, the festival welcomes people from all backgrounds and is one of Raleigh’s most vibrant community events of the year.

Friday night, specifically, is their new “adults only” night!

Schedule

• 6:00 PM – Meet at Roshambo for drinks and conversation
• 6:30 PM-ish – Walk to the festival together
• Stay as long as you’d like!

Whether you’re attending Pride for the first time, have gone for years, are supporting friends, or simply want to enjoy a fun evening with good company, you’re welcome to join us.

No pressure, no awkward icebreakers—just a chance to meet new people, enjoy a great community event, and spend a summer evening in downtown Raleigh together. 🌈✨
