Set in the lush greenery of the Delaware River Valley, our Pride festival connects two towns in two different states by the New Hope & Lambertville Bridge. Drawing more than 15,000 people annually, New Hope Celebrates joins together the LGBT friendly towns of Lambertville, NJ and New Hope, PA.
Our festival features a grand parade with over 600 participants, beginning in Lambertville, NJ and crossing over the Delaware River into New Hope, PA. We feature both local and national marching bands, floats and nonprofit organizations. The highlight of the parade is New Hope Celebrates’ very own 100ft. Rainbow Equality Flag in eight colors!
The week long festivities include special events, parties and educational activities, culminating with the parade and festival. Whether you come for a day or stay for the week, there is something for everyone!
Both local and national organizations “strut their stuff” through town, showing their enthusiasm, and enjoying the fun! The parade personifies our diversity and the invitation is open to all. Featuring nationally known marching bands, troops and floats, political organizations, youth groups, schools, companies, and churches.
An estimated 15,000 visitors will come to Lambertville and New Hope, staying at our inns, hotels and Bed & Breakfasts.
After the parade, you can enjoy the festivities at the Pride Fair. Whether you are a returning guest or coming for the first time, it is a magical experience!
Rain or shine, the parade begins in Lambertville, NJ at 11:30am and crosses the Delaware River into New Hope, PA.
