Wichita Pride has a long-standing tradition of creating secure environments for all of our events. This year will be no exception. Our security measures include extensive coordination with WPD. These measures are part of a comprehensive security plan designed to handle any threats effectively, and to ensure that our events remain a bastion of joy and unity in the face of adversity.

We stand together with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community of Wichita, undeterred and united in the face of threats. Pride is not just a celebration but also a symbol of the resilience and strength of our community. We will continue to wave our flags high, love without apology, and celebrate our identities with pride and defiance.
