The purpose of the public event is for the advancement of religion and elimination of prejudice and discrimination based on religious beliefs. The mission of the Pagan Pride Project is to foster pride in Pagan identity through education, activism, charity and community.

A food drive or other charitable activity is a large part of each event, to share our abundant harvest with others in need, and to make a clear statement to those who have misconceptions about Paganism. We know that our ethics, based on concern for ecology, personal responsibility, and individual freedom, mean that we feel strongly called to actions of social responsibility. It is important for us to highlight our similarity to other religions in that regard.
