Our Sponsors and Partners
Uncommon Coffee has become the unofficial home for Essex Pride. Uncommon has hosted monthly Queer Coffee Meetups, Drag Story Hour, and has been a consistent safe space for our community. Essex Pride is thankful and grateful for the staff and ownership at Uncommon Coffee.
--------
It’s our mission to serve high quality products without pretension, taking pride in our work and treating others with respect and kindness. We value integrity, and put this into practice at every level of our business.
We make as much as we possibly can from scratch. From the bread your breakfast sandwich is on to the chocolate syrup in your mocha, to the coffee beans you love to brew (and much more). When you come in, you’ll have a truly unique experience because of this.
Located in the heart of Essex Town in the Essex Experience, Uncommon provides a large and comfortable space for all to share. Whether you're a group of people looking for a place to meet and relax, or an individual working from your computer, we have a home for you here. Come enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, or join us for a meal.
Bellcate School and Bellcate School Dog Treats
Our vision is to offer a practical solution to a real problem. We explored making dog treats and we fell in love. Mixing, baking, packaging, oh my! Fast forward two years and Bellcate School Dog Treats is fully operational.
Students in special education with disabilities need meaningful education and employment and your dogs need good treats. With each purchase of Bellcate School Dog Treats, you are supporting both. Students and their families are filled with hope and enthusiasm about the far reaching impact of our program.

This could be you! How can you become a sponsor?
We have limited Essex Pride Sponsorships available at different tiers beginning at $200, which include a special feature on our website, shout outs on social media, recognition from our MC during the Festival, a customized gift to be determined, tickets to the official after party, and our undying gratitude for helping to make this day happen. Full sponsorship packets, pricing, and incentive options are available if you email us at EssexVTPride@gmail.com.
As we've stated before, any money we accept will go towards our direct costs and towards providing future events and safe spaces for the Essex LGBTQIA+ community. A portion of funds raised will also be dispersed to other LGBTQIA+ organizations across Vermont.
This is not a corporate Pride event where anyone can buy their way into allyship. We encourage artists, organizations, and businesses who either are a part of our LGBTQIA+ community or who actively and openly support our community to consider being our sponsors for what we know will be an incredible day.
Sponsorships are not available for politicians or individual political campaigns, but we encourage groups who fight for LGBTQIA+ rights and actively combat and speak out against harmful and hateful bills attacking our community to submit a vendor form to table at the Festival at no cost.
