About Carver County Pride

Carver County Pride is a family-friendly, 501c3 non-profit organization which will focus on providing awareness of the Carver County LGBTQIA2S+ Community, and connecting all community members with resources that will enrich their lives, and connect them to the amazing people they share this wonderful county with.

We welcome entertainers and organizations who affirm and support our mission. Carver County Pride wishes to create an environment that celebrates the gathering of a community, while remembering our history and all who have gathered before us.

At Carver County Pride, our mission is to cultivate an inclusive, safe, and sustainable community for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual, Two Spirit, plus (LGBTQIA2S+) and Carver County Community Members.

We seek involvement from folks who affirm and support our mission and the history of and purpose in holding a pride festival:  

• Carver County Pride seeks to bring the community of Carver County together in celebration.
• Carver County Pride seeks to empower every LGBTQ+ person to live as their true self and to create a future where all LGBTQIA2S+ people are valued and celebrated for who they are.
• The Pride celebration commemorates and continues the fight against discrimination and the struggle for equality, for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer persons and their families. 

NOTE: If you or your group has actively worked against or physically harmed ANY members of the LGBTQ+ community then Pride is not the space for you.

We welcome performers who affirm and support our mission. Carver County Pride wishes to create an environment that celebrates the gathering of a community, while remembering our history and all who have gathered before us.

While we would like to encourage and support all performing groups to create a more inclusive and diverse space, merely having members of the LGBTQ+ community members does not qualify as being supportive or an ally. Carver County Pride recognizes that it is our actions that show the world our values and will keep this in mind when considering what performers will be approved for the upcoming festival and other events throughout the year. 

Performers will be asked to provide lyrics whenever possible for our ASL interpreters.  If chosen to perform, all required documentation will be verified prior to payment. Documentation includes, W9, signed contract.

NOTE: failure to submit all required documentation could result in the forfeiture of your slotted performance time. 

QUESTIONS: If you have questions about this application or process please review the FAQ section of the Carver County Pride Website https://www.carvercountypride.org/  If you have any questions not answered in the FAQ section listed above please contact us at carvercountypride@gmail.com
