Great Friends Meeting House

Our festival serves as a gathering space for Aquidneck Island residents &amp; Rhode Island queer/ally communities to unite. 
Our festival celebrates identity, resilience, community, and&nbsp;uplifting one another through joy, visibility, and education. PrideFest features a diverse lineup of performers. From drag artists, singer-songwriters, DJ’s, and all-age dance groups, ensuring there is something for everyone to enjoy. This family-friendly event has food trucks with various options for you to enjoy, and ample space for picnics on the grass under our tent. There are around 60 vendor spots; we have a variety of businesses, non-profits, artists, and creators for you to explore. With an attendance of around&nbsp; 5,000 people! To kick off the festivities, participants can join the annual parade at the festival's commencement, escorted by cars, bikes, and the Newport Police Department.&nbsp; As the festival continues to grow, our hearts expand alongside it.
