OUToberfest is a gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transsexual (LGBT) festival held annually during October in Jackson, Mississippi. It was established in 2005 for several reasons including:

Contents

  • A failure of Mississippi Pride organizers in 2004
  • An anti-gay constitutional amendment defining marriage in Mississippi
  • A need for positive and non-political LGBT awareness in Mississippi
  • A need for a stronger, more organized LGBT community in Mississippi

    • OUToberfest was initially conceptualized by Knol Aust, Duane Smith and Jenni Smith. Unity Mississippi is the official organizer of the event.

    In 2012 the festival will officially be renamed Mississippi Pride.
