We are so happy to welcome you to Naper Pride Fest. We are hoping to have many diverse options for our guests to enjoy.
We are expecting 2500+ people!
Naper Pride Fest is a single day festival which is in its 4th year of production. Our goal of 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.
This year we will enhance the area for children & families by engaging DuPage Children’s Museum and other local organizations. There will be a vendor area which will have booths for l businesses to share their products and services. Adults can enjoy a beer garden that 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.

What does my registration fee support?
Naper Pride is an all-volunteer organization. 100% of all donations, fees, and grants are devoted to our programming and initiatives to help people right here in our community. As part of our 2024 programming goals, we hope to raise $50,000 to expand our ability to provide health and wellness resources, grow our youth service options while supporting partner organizations like 360 Youth and Youth Outlook, develop a stronger support network for our senior citizens, and nurture our relationship with the City of Naperville to bring more visibility and inclusion for the local LGBTQ community.
