THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING PRIDE ON THE PLAZA 2026

Pride on the Plaza is a celebration of all things LGBTQ+ not just in Wheeling but across the globe. As such we are always trying to make each Pride better than the last. This year we brought one of the original Gilbert Baker Pride Flags to Wheeling and was showcased in a mini pop up museum at Pride!

On June 13th we had thousands of people attend Pride on the Plaza!! All of you expressing what it means to be free and LGBTQ+ with limitless forms of self expression.

Thank you all who attended, and thank you to our sponsors. We could not have done any of this without the support of every single person who attended Pride this year.

We would also like to thank our drag performers who gave us an excellent Pride After Dark and Waterfront Hall Pride After Party showing!

We hope to see all of you again next year for our FIFTH anual Pride on the Plaza.

With much love The Friendlier City Project Board of Directors.
