About Me

The purpose of Rochester Pagan Pride Day is to promote religious tolerance and diversity in the Greater Rochester, New York, community.
RPPD celebrates various spiritual paths that fall under the umbrella of Paganism to promote harmony as well as providing education to the general public about our spirituality.
It has been said by some, that we should never doubt that a small group or even one person can change the world.
It is our belief that grassroots organizations such as Pagan Pride are the way to affect change in this confusing time in history.
The first Rochester Pagan Pride Day Festival was held in 1999, in Brighton Town Park, with approximately 100 people in attendance, a few merchants, and a family picnic atmosphere.
Every year gets bigger and better:
1999 - 100 PEOPLE
2000 - 200 PEOPLE
2001 - 300 PEOPLE
2002 - 375 PEOPLE
2003 - 400 PEOPLE
2004 - 585 PEOPLE
2005 – 721 PEOPLE
2006 - 430 People (bad weather day)
2007 - 631 People
As for the future, RPPD will continue to enlighten, engage and envision a future in which tolerance, diversity and freedom are insured.
Blessed Be.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Rochester Pagan Pride has grown by leaps and bounds over the years due to the tireless efforts of our Local Coordinators, volunteers, sponsors and attendees, without whom we wouldn’t be possible.

We say thank you from the depths of our hearts for all that you have done in the past to help RPPD be a great event for all!

If you are interested in helping with RPPD, whether as a vendor/merchant, workshop presenter, or an on-site volunteer, please join us!
