As a nonprofit organization located in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Cape PRIDE Inc. was born in the summer of 2018. The first goal was to put on an EPIC celebration for the LGBTQ+ community of Southeast Missouri in 2019 to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots & the start of the LGBTQ+ Rights Movement in the United States. That festival was a huge success and paved the way for all future goals and partnerships in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
