Southern New Mexico Pride
has existed in various forms, under various names, for several years. The first recorded picnic was sponsored by a group of lesbians looking for a social activity in 1990. Originally, Las Cruces Pride (as it was then known) consisted of a small group of community members held a picnic in a local park. In the late 1990s, a walking parade was added. It has since grown into a part-year, volunteer-run organization, working in conjunction with local community groups and vendors, to provide a walking parade followed by a picnic, artisans, vendors, and activities in a local park. In 2006, Las Cruces Pride changed its name to Southern NM Pride to represent more communities. In 2008, Southern NM Pride was honored by Albuquerque Pride with its Honored Dignitary-Emerging Leader award.
