About Us

Our goal with ELGbtq+ is to create a safe, welcoming environment for all LGBTQIA+ folx and allies in the Elgin area to come together, celebrate and learn from each other, and create unity within the community.

Our mission is to create family-friendly, accessible events everyone can attend, while prioritizing queer voices in and around the Elgin, IL area.

We were very excited to make history by bringing the first LGBTQ+ Pride Parade and Festival to Elgin, Illinois in June of 2023, which saw over 4,000 attendees.
