Hi There

Ashland Pride was founded in 2019 to create a space for LGBTQIA2S+ members of the Ashland, KY area to gather safely and exchange ideas, build community, and work towards a more welcoming, equitable, and affirming society within the tri-state area!

We are building programs for education and training, hosting gatherings and events, creating spaces for youth voices, and standing up as part of this community we love so much!

Upcoming events

Trail Gayzers

10/12 3:00PM
Join us at Shelter 6 for a hike along the Iron Ore Trail at Armco Park. Enjoy the fall weather and leaves. Learn some local history from interpretive markers along the trail. Stick around for the full 3.7 mile trail or split off early and head back to our picnic shelter.
We'll provide food and water, but you're welcome to bring something to share if you want.
Craft Night

10/7 5:30-8:00PM
We'll be gathering at the Boyd County Library - Main Branch Meeting Room for a night of creativity and fun! Join Ashland Pride for a special Craft Night where we'll be making adorable Autumn Gnomes. These whimsical little guys, with their burlap hats and leafy beards, are the perfect way to welcome the fall season.
We'll provide all the supplies you'll need to create your very own gnome, so just bring yourself and your friends.
