Sponsorship Opportunities
As we embark on Pride Season 2025, we are thrilled to announce the 12th Annual New London Pride Festival, taking place at Ocean Beach Park on Saturday, August 9, 2025 from 12 noon to 5pm.
This year, OutCT is excited to collaborate with local businesses and community partners to bring you a full month of Pride festivities throughout Southeastern Connecticut. We invite you to be a part of this vibrant celebration through a variety of sponsorship opportunities, designed to showcase your support and commitment to the LGBTQ+ community.
The 2025 Pride Festival is a celebration of families—both biological and chosen—and the strength, love, and diversity within our community. Our day-long event will feature activities and entertainment for all ages, including:
-
Local performers and musicians
-
Artisan vendors
-
Resource booths
-
A dedicated Youth Center
-
And more surprises to come!
It’s a time to celebrate who we are, the people we love, and the inclusive community we continue to build together.
Sponsor Levels
Sponsorship at all levels establishes you not only as a sponsor of both OutCT and New London Pride 2024, but as a supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. OutCT provides high profile visibility and access to thousands of members of our community in a variety of ways. Since 2013, OutCT’s name and marketing efforts have grown significantly. New London Pride festivals have boasted attendance numbers of 2000+. We expect the reach of our virtual and inperson events to continue to grow year over year! Please review the attached sheet for sponsorship opportunities and advertising benefits. As a sponsor of New London Pride 2024, you help ensure another successful event.
