Frederick’s tenth Pagan Pride Day is Saturday, September 26th, 2026, at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Frederick from 10 AM to 6 PM. People of all ages and spiritual backgrounds are welcome. The event will include information booths, workshops, live music, vendors and other activities celebrating the Autumn Equinox, a time of thanksgiving in many Pagan traditions. Download the mobile-friendly program here.

Admission is a donation to one of three organizations we are supporting this year. You are welcome to bring an item of non-perishable commercially prepared food (no home canned goods, unfortunately) for The Foodbank Program operated by the Frederick Community Action Agency. Frederick Pagan Pride Day is also supporting Frederick County Animal Control. Donations for the Adoption Center can also be given as admission. FCAC is requesting UNOPENED PACKAGES of canned food of any variety, dry food (Iams is preferred, but they will take any sort), bleach, sponges and Dawn dish soap. Other pet supplies are welcome, but must be UNOPENED. Lastly, we are proud to support The Western Maryland Immigrant Rights Collective. WMD-IRC supports families who have lost a loved one to ICE, including families with young children. WMD-IRC is requesting baby food, diapers sizes 5 – 7, and baby wipes.

As always, we will be offering a raffle! Raffle tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5, cash ONLY. The raffle drawing is after the main ritual at around 2:45 PM or so. You do not have to be present to win, but any prizes not collected by Saturday, October 10th, are forfeit.
