Welcome to Naper Pride Fest 2025

September 13, 2025 | 12-10pm | Naper Settlement

Naper Pride Fest is a single day festival which is in its 4th 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.

About Naper Pride

One of the largest and most cohesive LGBTQ communities in Chicago’s nine collar county area, the Naper Pride Organization is a family-centered, Naperville-focused, celebration of LGBTQ members of Naperville.

Naper Pride’s goal is to bring  together people from all walks of life family, friends, neighbors and allies in a celebration of inclusivity.

Through its programs and events focused on family, education, health and wellness of body, mind, and soul, Naper Pride seeks to fulfill its mission of supporting efforts that promote a community environment that treats every individual with equality, dignity, and respect.

Naper Pride is an all-volunteer organization. 100% of all proceeds go directly in support of the LGBTQ+ community.
