Jersey Pride, Inc.

Jersey Pride, Inc. is the all-volunteer nonprofit that has produced New Jersey's statewide Pride celebration in Asbury Park since 1992. The annual event, held on the first Sunday of June at Bradley Park along the waterfront, is the oldest and largest Pride in the state, drawing tens of thousands of attendees for a day of live entertainment, a march, community vendors and family programming. The organization is run entirely by volunteers and is a cornerstone of the Jersey Shore's LGBTQ+ calendar, coordinating the celebration that has helped define Asbury Park as one of New Jersey's most welcoming destinations.
