Bellows Falls Pride 2025
Bellows Falls Pride
"The Gay Experiment in rural Vermont"
Since the 1970s Bellows Falls has been a home for the LGBTQIA+ community, with the historic Andrews Inn, the first Gay bar in the state of Vermont. A lot has changed since then, but what remains the same is Pride in the area and Pride in the people living here. Join us for community activities throughout
the year!
"enjoy what you are!"

Bellows Falls Pride brings you social events, educational spotlights, and community building.
From drag events, dance parties, tea and cocktail events, we have something for everyone. Keep connected on our socials and on the webpage for coming events throughout the year.
Be sure to join us for the annual Bellows Falls Film Festival at the Opera House in June.
