Randolph Pride

Randolph Pride is a weekend of Pride events in Randolph centered on a PrideFest with food trucks, vendors, entertainment, and children's activities. It is run through the First Congregational Church of Randolph, which also holds a Pride Sunday worship service and year-round gatherings.

First Congregational Church of Randolph, a United Church of Christ congregation founded in 1731, organizes Randolph Pride. The church frames Pride as year-round work, with a BraveSpace CoffeeHouse series for stories and music, pop-up gatherings, educational events and worship alongside the June weekend.

PrideFest itself runs for about five hours at the pool side parking lot of Randolph High School. The family-friendly lineup includes food trucks, vendors, a bounce house, children's activities, music and drag, with past performers including the South Coast drag duo Phlegm Mignon and Crystal Diamonds and indie folk singer-songwriter Taber.

The weekend is paid for largely through sponsorships, with tiers named for LGBTQ+ figures such as Bayard Rustin, Sylvia Rivera, Gwen Araujo and Barbara Gittings. Sponsors at higher levels can host an information or merchandise table at the festival. Organizers take questions by email and recruit volunteers through the church.

Pride events celebrate LGBTQ+ people and mark the Stonewall uprising of June 1969. Most combine a parade or march with a festival of performers, community groups, vendors and food.

Randolph Pride has included festival, vendors, kids activities and interfaith service.

The organizer has not announced dates for 2027 yet. In 2026 it was held June 26-28, 2026. It usually falls last weekend of June.
