Built on courage and powered by community.
Dock Street Pride Party returns on June 28, 2026.
SINCE 2019, WE HAVE CREATED SOMETHING FOR AND BY THE COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY.
As the brainchild of two friends who were looking to continue to support the LGBTQ+ community in Wilmington in 2019, Dock Street Pride Party has been a staple event during June, with donation efforts to local organizations, such as the LGBTQ+ Center of the Cape Fear.
Every year, we strive to make it better than ever.
