Pride Interfaith

Many faiths and traditions come together to celebrate the sacred in all of us and unite for a service of song, prayer, and inspiration. Each of the many communities represented welcome and embrace the LGBTQ community.

This year’s service commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, with the theme “Exist. Resist. Persist.” The speaker will be Bishop Karen Oliveto, the first openly lesbian bishop in the United Methodist Church. Music will be presented by the Recovery Worship Band, the One Voice Choir, and a combined community choir. Hosted at Christ United Methodist Church, 2374 E 3300 S.

Youth Lounge

On Saturday and Sunday at the Utah Pride Festival will be the 1st Annual Youth Lounge — a chill space for youth ages 10–20 at the Utah Pride Festival. This is a space the Festival wanted to set aside for folks to snack, hang out, make friendship bracelets, paint nails, do coloring pages, charge devices, relax, and refresh.

The Youth Lounge, co-hosted by Salt Lake County Youth Services, will offer water and light refreshments.
