About Bangor Pride
Central ​Maine's largest annual Pride celebration occurs in the heart of Bangor during the fourth weekend of June each year. Bangor Pride held its first celebration on June 20, 1992 and has since been fueled by the passion and dedication of the local LGBTQ+ community.
Bangor Pride allows for the possibility of bringing more connection and support to the LGBTQ+ community in Bangor and the surrounding areas.
