Join us for an unforgettable evening of celebration, community, and pride at the CR Pride Gala on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at 5:00 PM. Hosted at 5977 Mt. Vernon Rd SE, this elegant evening brings together friends, allies, and advocates to honor the strength and resilience of the LGBTQIA+ community.

The night begins with a silent auction and cocktail hour where guests can mingle, bid on exclusive items, and enjoy refreshing drinks. A delicious dinner will follow, setting the stage for an inspiring program featuring speakers and guests of honor who will share stories of empowerment, advocacy, and pride.

As the evening continues, the celebration comes alive with live music and entertainment, creating the perfect atmosphere to connect, dance, and show your support for CR Pride’s mission.

The CR Pride Gala isn’t just a night out — it’s a chance to invest in visibility, equality, and community. Your attendance helps strengthen CR Pride’s year-round efforts to support and uplift LGBTQIA+ individuals across Eastern Iowa.

We invite you to dress your best, bring your friends, and be part of an evening where love, inclusion, and pride shine brightly.

Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate with us. We can’t wait to see you there! While the deadline for tickets has past, please email info@crprideia.com to see if any tickets remain if you are interested in joining.

We’re honored to welcome State Senator Liz Bennett as one of our featured speakers. Senator Bennett made history as the first openly bisexual member elected to state government in Iowa. A passionate advocate for equality, representation, and justice, she continues to be a strong voice for the LGBTQIA+ community.
