Color Your World
This weekend, Cincinnati Pride celebrate its silver anniversary, commemorating 50 years of Pride in Cincinnati!
Like all the best parties, it starts with a parade. The 2023 Cincinnati Pride Parade presented by Pure Romance steps off from Seventh and Plum streets at 11 a.m. The route travels down Vine Street past Fountain Square, and continuing through The Banks, ending at the Pride Festival at Sawyer Point and Yeatman's Cove.
The family-friendly festival includes entertainment, food vendors and other fun activities, and runs from 12 to 9 p.m. With many businesses and non-profits in both the parade and the festival, the day is a great way to show support for the city’s LGBTQIA+ community.
The mission of Cincinnati Pride is to provide the Greater Cincinnati LGBTQIA+ community and allies a forum that promotes inclusion and acceptance while affirming individuality. Throughout the year, they provide information, support local economic growth by partnering with the community to attract individuals to the Greater Cincinnati area, collaborate with other organizations through outreach programs, citizen involvement, and events, and educational resources to those inside and outside of the LGBTQ community.
