$Ogden\u2019s third annual Pride Festival had 3,000 in attendance.$

Ogden brought Pride to northern Utah for the third consecutive year. Ogden Pride was organized October 11, 2014, which was National Coming Out Day, and incorporated in November 2014, becoming the first Pride organization in Ogden and the fourth such group in Utah.

The board of directors immediately started plans to make alliances with supportive businesses and to work with the city of Ogden to bring a Pride Festival to the Junction City, as it's nicknamed. Dozens of businesses, associations, nonprofit groups, corporate sponsors, and individual volunteers worked for months, and their efforts paid off: The first Ogden Pride Festival was held August 1, 2015. This year's event, the third annual, drew 3,000 attendees.
