The Dayton Pride Partnership brings you PRIDE each year on the first weekend of June. This year Pride is so big it starts in May. It kicks off with a Friday Night Affair on Friday, followed by a parade and the PRIDE Festival on Saturday. This year’s dates are Friday, May 31 from 6-10pm and Saturday, June 1 from 11-4pm.

The PRIDE celebration creates a safe environment for members of our community to express themselves without fear of hate and to experience queerness as being the default as opposed the the exception while helping to raise awareness and support for the LGBTQIA+ community.
