NOVA Pride

NOVA Pride is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit covering Northern Virginia, from Arlington and Alexandria out to Fairfax and Loudoun. Its main event is the annual Northern Virginia PrideFest, held in the autumn rather than June, and through the year it organises happy hours, social nights and community meetups around the region. There is no drop-in office, so treat the website and social channels as the front door: that is where dates, venues and volunteer sign-ups are posted. For a visitor it is mostly useful as an events calendar for the suburbs, since most of the area's bar life sits across the river in Washington, D.C.
