Purchase with Pride

Thank you to our 2024 Purchase with Pride Partners!

Become a Purchase with Pride Partner

***This year’s listing is now closed. We encourage all to fly a Pride flag during Pride week and join our Purchase with Pride list next year!

Are you a queer-friendly retail shop, restaurant, bar or experience business in and around downtown? Then we’d love to have you join our Purchase with Pride Partner list for 2024. Joining our list is simple. First, agree to our Welcoming Statement if you have not already. Second, hang a Pride flag over your business or in your front window during Pride week (September 14th-21st) so that festival goers know that they are welcome. And lastly, if not already a sponsor, pay $150 for marketing support from Blue Ridge Pride.

In exchange, Blue Ridge Pride will advertise your business during Pride week via social media, and at the festival through our Digital Brochure, optimized for mobile use during the week’s festivities. The QR code linking to the Digital Brochure will go up on signage throughout the festival, driving roughly 15,000 people to area shops, restaurants and bars to Purchase with Pride. Interested?
