This year’s theme, “Remember, Resist, Rejoice,” reflects the importance of honoring the LGBTQ+ community’s history, standing against ongoing challenges, and celebrating resilience and joy.

The parade will follow its traditional route along 2nd Avenue, beginning at Scott Street and concluding at Seeboth Street. Thousands are expected to gather in a show of solidarity, visibility, and pride.
