Pridefest is Ames Pride’s flagship event that combines a vendor fair, educational opportunities, and entertainment into one great day! We hold Pridefest in the fall to allow Iowa State students and staff a better chance of participating. In addition to Pridefest, Ames Pride offers events at least once every quarter that center queer community and outreach.

Ames Pride is committed to fostering a safe, diverse, and welcoming environment at each of our events and for our volunteers. We can’t wait to meet you at the next Ames Pride gathering.
