Cortes Pride Committee
Thank you so much to everyone that made Cortes Pride 2025 so amazing!
Every year, this event gets better and more fun!
We were so lucky to have so many wonderful donations this year. Thank you so much to all the businesses and individuals that donated money, prizes for Trivia, raffle prizes, and vegetables for the Pride Community Dinner.
Thank you to the excellent performances by Jenny Magenta, Sylvester Stalletto, ConnieQ, and DJ Spruce Lee.
Thank you to all the volunteers that helped decorate the Pride Float for Cortes Day. Thanks to everyone that helped decorate the Gorge Hall, that helped prepare the Pride Community Meal and Trivia night. Thank you to everyone that came to watch the drag performances, that danced the night away with us. Thanks to everyone that helped clean up.
This Cortes Pride event was definitely the best we’ve ever had and it would not have been possible without the hard work of the Cortes Pride Committee: Connie, Monica, Shaun, Shiva, Kim and Izabelle.
Our biggest thanks goes out to the Whaletown Community Club that continues to fund, support, and provide us with community spaces where everyone can feel safe, respected, and welcome to be who they are.
We hope you all had fun and we look forward to seeing all your beautiful faces again soon.
