Woodstock IL Pride is an inclusive civic organization dedicated to promoting diversity, cultural integration, and self-celebration of LGBTQIA+ individuals, families, and businesses in McHenry County, Illinois. Through advocacy, education, and community engagement, we foster a sense of belonging and empowerment.
Our mission is to create spaces where authenticity thrives, and everyone is encouraged to live boldly and proudly. By uplifting LGBTQIA+ voices and allies, we strengthen connections and inspire positive change.
A cornerstone of our work is hosting Woodstock PrideFest—McHenry County’s largest LGBTQIA-focused festival—celebrating visibility, equality, and community unity. Beyond PrideFest, we offer events, workshops, and initiatives that enrich lives through education, support, and meaningful connections in our physical location the Woodstock Pride Community Center.
