COME HUNGRY 🌈

We’re excited to kick off our 2026 Lost River Pride vendor highlights with two local favorites joining us for this year’s festival!

🍕 Lost & Found Pizza & Provisions
Lost & Found Pizza & Provisions is the Lost River Valley’s only hand-tossed, wood-fired pizza restaurant. Along with their wood-fired pizzas, they also offer fresh salads, we**ie sandwiches, strombolis, a delicious skillet cookie dessert, and a provisions shop stocked with beer, wine, snacks, and more. We're excited to have them and their delicious pepperoni rolls back for Pride again this year! Also, don't miss out on their Pride Wine Tasting event! 🍷✨

🔥 Bekah's Barbecue
Also returning for another year, Bekah’s Barbecue has been part of Lost River Pride since the very beginning! Expect a fully loaded menu featuring all things pulled pork, including loaded mac & cheese bowls, loaded nachos, aloha pork sandwiches, and the fan-favorite BBQ parfait layered with mashed potatoes, pork, BBQ sauce, and mac & cheese. Return festival goers know Bekah does it up right!

We’re so grateful to have these amazing local food vendors back with us this year. More vendor announcements coming soon as we count down to LOST RIVER PRIDE 2026!

Episode 1 of the Lost River Pride History Project is here! 🎙️

We’re excited to share the launch of our new history series exploring LGBTQ+ life and history in the Lost River Valley.

In this first conversation, Nik Taylor sits down with Bob Dillard and Robert Singleton to talk about their early days in Hardy County and how Lost River became a meaningful place for so many LGBTQ+ folks over the years.
