The Denver Underground Pride Est. 2022

The idea of Denver's Underground Pride came from the outpour of local queer voices saying that Denver Pride felt too corporate and like straight tourism. Local queers were shoved to the side as big name brands put on a rainbow for a month, taking money from queer artists and corporatizing a historical social rights riot. Underground Pride is made for queers, by queers. No corporations, No sponsors, No rainbow washing, just queer art and queer love the way we see it... not how mainstream media portrays it.  Underground Pride will always be just that, underground. It is a festival strictly for Denver local queer artists to express themselves and showcase up and coming local queer entertainment. The fest will always be donation based and NOTAFLOF so the fest can be as accessible and affordable as possible. All entry fee donations to the fest go directly to paying performers, artists, and staff. Everyone is welcome to attend (yes, even straight or cis people) as all money spent at this event will go directly into the pockets of local queer art, not a corporation cosplaying as a gay person for one month. Come support the underground and see how queer art has evolved!

(Not supporting is low-key homophobic... jk lol)
