'All Out For Montclair': Fundraiser Will Support Montclair Pride 2025

MONTCLAIR, NJ — The following news release comes courtesy of Out Montclair. Find out how to post announcements or events to your local Patch site.

Out Montclair is proud to announce, "All Out for Montclair," a special fundraising event in support of Montclair Pride 2025 — a celebration of love, diversity, and resilience. The fundraiser will take place on Thursday, April 10 from 6 to 9 p.m.at Porta Montclair (499 Bloomfield Ave, Montclair).

Guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening of music, dancing, delicious bites, and incredible company — all while raising critical funds to ensure that Montclair Pride 2025 is the most vibrant and inclusive celebration yet.

This year’s fundraiser holds particular urgency in light of the escalating wave of anti-trans, non-binary, and LGBTQIA+ erasure and aggression happening across the country. LGBTQIA+ communities continue to face harmful legislation and discrimination that threaten their safety and visibility. Montclair Pride stands as a beacon of hope and defiance — a place where everyone, regardless of gender identity or expression, feels seen, heard, and valued.

“Now more than ever, it’s essential to create spaces where LGBTQ+ individuals feel safe and supported,” said Genevieve Wrenn, Director of Events at Out Montclair. “Montclair Pride is more than a celebration — it’s a statement that love, acceptance, and visibility will always triumph over hate.”

Funds raised at All Out for Montclair will directly support Montclair Pride’s programming, entertainment, security, and outreach efforts, ensuring that the event remains free, accessible, and welcoming to all.

Event Details:

• Date: Thursday, April 10, 2025
• Time: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
• Location: Porta Montclair, 499 Bloomfield Ave, Montclair

Join us for a night of joy, connection, and solidarity. Together, we can make Montclair Pride 2025 a powerful celebration of authenticity and acceptance.
