Sioux Falls Pride

The Center for Equality, now known as Sioux Falls Pride, was the leading LGBTQ focused non-profit organization that provided services, support and advocated for the LGBTQ community of Sioux Falls and surrounding areas. In addition to community services, the Center for Equality also worked alongside organizations like the ACLU of South Dakota to defeat anti-LGBT legislation like HB 1008 which targeted transgender youth in South Dakota.Sioux Falls Pride serves the LGBTQIA2S+ community in Sioux Falls and the surrounding areas by fostering growth, inclusivity and equality to our proud members and allies.

We have a passion for creating a community which empowers youth, provide support for all and welcome diversity. Through ongoing efforts, Sioux Falls Pride continues to be a thriving organization proudly providing support to our beloved LGBTQ2s+ community. Sioux Falls Pride has expanded festival offerings by growing family-friendly events, adding in Pride Week and diversifying marketing and community engagement efforts. In the last few years, multiple local businesses have even started their own Pride events. Most recently, Sioux Falls Pride has grown to include a Pride Parade through Downtown Sioux Falls. The inaugural parade was held in June 2019.
