Missoula Pride

06/19/2026

Pride isn't just about who we are. It's also about how we build community, create belonging, and form meaningful connections with one another.

Join The Q***r Hour on Saturday afternoon for a series of thoughtful, discussion-based gatherings exploring community, relationships, authenticity, and self-expression.

✨ **Q***r Ingredients in Festivals and Gatherings** at the Missoula Chamber of Commerce (2 p.m.)
What makes a gathering feel truly inclusive? Whether you're curious about festival culture, involved in co-created communities like Burning Man or the Radical Faeries, or simply interested in imagining new ways to connect, this conversation explores what makes q***r spaces meaningful, welcoming, and transformative.

💜 **Recipes for Connection: Crafting Your Unique Relationship Profile** at the Missoula Chamber of Commerce (3 p.m.)
Relationships don't come with a single blueprint. Through guided discussion, participants will explore communication, boundaries, desires, and relationship structures with a focus on building connections that reflect personal values and authenticity.

🧘 **Naked Yoga** at Private Location (4 p.m.)
This q***r-focused, body-positive yoga session offers an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and practice mindfulness in a safe, judgment-free environment. Open to all genders, bodies, and abilities ages 18+. RSVP is required to receive location details, email us at q***[email protected]

All events are q***r-focused, open to all, and intended for adults 18+. Entry is by donation, with surplus proceeds benefiting Missoula Pride.

Come for one session or stay for all three, and join a conversation about the many ways we create community, connection, belonging, and authenticity.
