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:

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.^[1]^[2]

In 2012 the festival will officially be renamed Mississippi Pride.^[3]
