New this year: The Marisa Henry Family Corner, named in honor of our dear friend Marisa Henry, will be filled with fun for all ages, featuring balloon animals, face painting, Drag Story Hour, crafts, and more.
This is Collar City Pride’s largest fundraiser of the year, supporting LGBTQIA+ programming in rural Rensselaer County.
This event would not be possible without the support of our sponsors. Our presenting sponsors for the 2025 Collar City Pride Festival are Cafe Euphoria, YWCA of the Greater Capital Region, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention- Capital Region Chapter, and Nine Pin Cider.
