Welcome to Naper Pride Fest 2024
Naper Pride Fest is a single day festival which is in its 3rd year of production. Our goal is bringing the entire community together in celebration and support of the LGBTQIA+ community. This family friendly event is held traditionally at Naper Settlement, which is an idyllic 13 acre living history museum located in beautiful downtown Naperville, IL.
There will be a vendor area for organizations and businesses to share their resources, products, games, and services. Adults can enjoy a beer garden which will highlight cold beer, hard cider, and canned cocktails. Food vendors will offer a wide variety of options to satisfy even the most discerning of tastes. Throughout the day, guests will enjoy music & live performances by local and regional acts.
