The Franklinton community of businesses and its famed arts district will celebrate year two of a local community Pride celebration centered on the arts and local businesses in the area while raising funds for local LGBTQIA+ organizations on June 26, 2021. This is year two of the local community event that was created when the COVID pandemic caused the citywide cancelation of large permitted gatherings like the annual Stonewall Columbus Pride March and events.
The event includes vendors, food trucks, IHEARTRADIO pop-up bar, two music stages, and more.
A 2020 committee, including Franklin Arts District, 400 Square, Get The Vote Out, Creative Wild Goose, Kingfinity, and more organized a larger committee to continue the celebration in a COVID-19 safe environment. What this means is we will ticket most events, we will have several open areas marked for social distancing, and enforce the local and state health regulations. We also moved the date of the celebration to the end of the month so we are not confused with the primary Stonewall event and to be sensitive to Juneteenth. 400 Square, Wild Goose Creative, Chromedge Studios, and other galleries will be open.
