Project Description
The PrideFest Teen Zone Gaming Truck experience provides a safe, inclusive, and engaging activity designed specifically for teens attending PrideFest.
The gaming truck offers an interactive and supervised environment where LGBTQ+ youth and allies can connect, socialize, and enjoy entertainment in a welcoming space where they can truly be themselves. Supporting this experience helps create meaningful opportunities for young people to build friendships, feel affirmed, and experience a sense of belonging within the community.
For many teens, PrideFest is more than just an event — it is a place to feel seen, accepted, and celebrated. Providing dedicated youth-focused activities helps ensure that younger attendees have positive, accessible, and memorable experiences during the festival.
This investment directly supports Capital City Pride’s mission to foster unity, visibility, and celebration within the LGBTQ+ community. It also strengthens the Des Moines community by creating inclusive spaces that encourage connection, promote safe and affirming youth engagement, and celebrate diversity through accessible community programming.
