SUX PRIDE was established in 2016 and the core value for our organization has always been simple. Love will always win. The organization was founded to give queer people a space to come together and celebrate one another. Throughout the years we have grown and have showcased to Siouxland and neighboring, cities, and states that we are here, we are queer, and we are not going anywhere. Our event takes place the first weekend of June. The Board is comprised of every queer person on the LGBTQIA2S+ spectrum and allies. We meet throughout the year and create meaningful opportunities that leave an everlasting impact on our community. We showcase some of the richest and most diverse talent in the area. Drag artists, burlesque artists, musical acts, and other artists have a safe space to showcase their artistry. We have had the privilege to expand our reach and have even been featured in local publications such as The Sioux City Journal and KTIV News Channel. SUX Pride has been recognized as one of the largest growing pride events in the Midwest by The Sioux City Journal.
