Additional events throughout the year include recreational activities, such as hiking, walks, outdoor ventures, and bowling.
Roanoke Pride also holds an annual dinner event called The Starlight Gala generally held on the Rooftop of Center in the Square.
In recent years, Roanoke Pride has had unprecedented growth with the founding of the DESTINY Program and the PRISM Foundation.
