STONEWALL COLUMBUS PRIDE EVENTS

Missed the June 1 Pride Month Kick-off? Watch it here:

The Stonewall Columbus organization is excited to host Stonewall Columbus Pride events safely throughout June.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Stonewall Columbus Pride events and we know this year will be a different year for our celebrations. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, at the time of planning, in Franklin County large gatherings were still restricted and as such, we continue to plan not to hold an in public march and gathering for 2021—even with masks mandates being lifted June 2. To safely gather over 800,000 people in the recognition and celebration of PRIDE is a strategic and engaged process that takes well over a year in coordinated planning with community members, local government, safety and security forces, and numerous vendors and partners.

Although we can’t gather together in a mass of people, this year we’ll work to remind our communities that our fight for visibility, inclusion, and connection is far from over, and our celebration and fight for pride isn’t just one moment in time…it is the course of our lived experience—our life movement. The LGBTQ+ community’s pride is greater than a single moment in time; join us as we work to remind the region that Pride in the LGBTQ+ community is more than a march, a festival, a weekend, a week, or even a month.

“From a Moment to a Movement”—that is the theme of this year’s Stonewall Columbus Pride!

Join us in June 2021 as we host the following Pride events for the community:

Run for Pride 5K on June 5 – 6 or any time during the month of June in partnership with Fleet Feet
Pride Tea Dance (around town) June 13th
Virtual Pride March event on June 19th broadcast by NBC4 in collaboration with Mills James
Pride Ride Challenge June 24 – 27 or anytime during June presented by Pelotonia
