For immediate release:
From the Catawba Valley Pride Board of Directors
We are proud to officially announce Catawba Valley Trans Pride 2026!
Join us on Saturday, April 11, 2026, from 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM at Unifour Church, 2257 Old Conover-Startown Road, Newton, NC for a powerful afternoon of visibility, celebration, and community.
This year’s theme is bold, unapologetic, and deeply needed:
Existence is Resistance!
In a time when simply living authentically can feel like an act of courage, we are coming together to celebrate the strength, resilience, and beauty of our transgender community. Trans Pride is a space of joy. A space of safety. A space where being fully yourself is not only welcomed — it is honored.
This is a FREE to attend event, with free parking, and it is pet friendly. We will feature vendors, entertainment, food trucks, and community services — all centered around uplifting trans lives and strengthening our local LGBTQIA+ community.
