From Viroqua Pride Comittee:

Please join us in our excitement as we look forward to Pride 2025!!

Due to unfortunate circumstances, we weren't able to secure Eckhart Park this year, and we know how much we all love that space. BUT. Our amazing friends at the VFW were SO phenomenal last year and had such a good time, that they are happily hosting us again!!

We understand that some folx were nervous--on all parts--about how the event between our seemingly very different groups would go. However, because pulling together is what this beautiful community does, it surpassed all of our expectations and it was a heartwarming, memorable (and wet!) day for all.

So please join us in the lovely VFW Pavilion and Yard, located in a private wooded space behind the bar.

We can't WAIT to celebrate with you another year, see you in June!!
