The mission of Wichita Pride is: As a 501(c)3 non-profit volunteer organization, Wichita Pride, Inc. will organize events to celebrate and unite our diverse community of Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transgender and ally people in the greater Wichita area.

Dedicated to improving the quality of life for and visibility of the members of the gay community, Pride is held on a warm weekend in September in downtown Wichita and expects to draw crowds of many thousands together in support of our multiplicity. The event is the centerpiece of a month-long celebration of the uniqueness and rich diversity of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community. It is a time to remember the Stonewall Riots, which happened in New York City in 1969, and is generally recognized as the beginning of the movement in the quest for Human Rights.
