Pride Month is a time to celebrate authenticity, uplift LGBTQ+ voices, and show up for the community in meaningful ways. At Lake Effect, we believe cannabis has always been about connection: connection to ourselves, to wellness, and to one another. That’s part of why Pride matters so much to us.

This May and June, we’re proud to celebrate alongside our Vermont community by supporting Essex Pride 2026 through Sunset Lake CBD. As part of a larger family rooted right here in Vermont, Lake Effect is honored to help champion spaces that celebrate diversity, inclusion, and the freedom to be exactly who you are.

Celebrating Essex Pride 2026

Essex Pride Weekend returns this May with a full lineup of events designed to bring people together through celebration, visibility, and community support. From inclusive gatherings and entertainment to meaningful opportunities for connection, Essex Pride continues to create welcoming spaces for LGBTQ+ Vermonters, allies, families, and friends.

As a sponsor, Sunset Lake CBD is proud to help support this growing celebration, and that support extends across the Lake Effect family as well. Pride is about more than showing up for one weekend. It’s about continuing to build a Vermont where everyone feels seen, respected, and celebrated.

Whether you’re attending for the first time or making Pride part of your yearly tradition, Essex Pride Weekend offers an incredible opportunity to connect with community and celebrate love in all its forms.

Stop By Our South Hero Dispensary During Pride Weekend

If you’re spending time in Vermont for Pride festivities, make Lake Effect part of your weekend plans. Conveniently located in South Hero, Lake Effect offers a welcoming, judgment-free cannabis shopping experience designed for both locals and visitors alike.

Whether you’re looking for flower, pre-rolls, gummies, beverages, or wellness-focused products, our team is here to help you find the right fit for your Pride weekend, lake day, or simply a relaxing Vermont summer experience.

Pride is about joy, self-expression, and creating space for everyone to feel comfortable being themselves, and that’s exactly the kind of atmosphere we aim to foster every day at Lake Effect.

Pride, Cannabis, and Community

Supporting Pride means supporting people. It means showing up, celebrating individuality, and helping create inclusive communities that extend far beyond a single event.

At Lake Effect, we’re proud to celebrate Pride Month not just as a seasonal moment, but as part of our broader commitment to welcoming all people through our doors with kindness, respect, and good vibes. This year, we encourage our community to explore Essex Pride Weekend, support local events, and take time to celebrate love, identity, and connection however it feels most authentic to you.

From all of us at Lake Effect, Happy Pride 2026. We’re proud to celebrate with you.
