Truckee Pride Week is back for its third year, bringing a full lineup of events that celebrate connection, inclusivity, and pure mountain-town joy. From scenic hikes and community gatherings to dance parties and drag brunch, this week is all about showing up as you are and celebrating together.
Small mountain towns can be challenging places for members of the queer community. We are excited to create a highly inclusive space where anyone and everyone can come, feel safe and celebrated, and enjoy all the great things Truckee has to offer.
- David Mack, Founder and Lead Organizer of Truckee Pride
