On June 29, 2025, Nye County will celebrate five amazing years of Pahrump PROUD! Originally the brainchild of Jim McCoy, immediate friends Craig Bohannon and James Davis jumped in to make the event one of the first annual National Pride month (June) celebrations in Pahrump Valley. This year, in conjunction with the Southern Nevada Association of PRIDE, Inc., Pahrump PROUD will become Pahrump PRIDE.

Pahrump PROUD has been established as a yearly Queer Event that is filled with community partners, artist, service providers, entertainers, and local social and performance groups. The Pahrump Nugget Hotel and Casino hosts two to three hundred guests on the last Sunday in June. The hotel staff and management are always delighted when the “PRIDERS” come back. This year’s event is set for June 29, 2025, from 10 am til 5 pm in the Event Space at the Nugget.

Pahrump PROUD is a day filled with thirty-plus vendors, local civic and social groups such as the Sin Sity Sisters, The Imperial Royal Sovereign Court, Nevada Gay Rodeo, Henderson Pride Festival, and so many others. The event is set up for a day of fun, family, and community. Vendor shopping and hourly entertainment are just some of the successes of the event.
