Pagans cannot always live their lives openly and honestly because of the fear that surrounds them. Do you have pride being a pagan? Ever have someone wonder what paganism is all about? Then you need to come to Pagan Pride in Des Moines at Union Park at 1801 Pennsylvania Avenue on September 26th!
We wish not only to reduce discrimination against us, but to present the value that our paths can bring to society, while emphasizing that we do not seek converts but ask that each person honor the Divine in the manner that seems best
