New Hope Celebrates has been committed to serving our diverse community since its founding in 2003. Our focus is to unify the community by highlighting the history and cultural nuances of New Hope through our events, and through the creation of promotional opportunities and educational events.
NHC’s mission is to bring people together to share in a celebration of history, diversity, and inconclusiveness. As a voice for our local LGBTQ+ community, we strive to achieve our vision where society is free of prejudice, discrimination, and hate here and across our borders.
Over the past 17 years, NHC has grown tremendously. We continue to ensure that LGBTQ+ tourism is a central part of our community’s identity. Beginning in 2017, there have been a few protesters at our Pride Parades. While not diminishing the joyful celebration, this underscores there is still progress to be made.
New Hope remains a vibrant, exciting, spirited town known for its openness and acceptance. Not only is it a special place to live and work, but it is also a welcoming tourist destination for those who come to experience our unique retail shops, restaurants and bars, drag shows, and t-dances, piano-bar entertainment, and theater — the list is endless.
