The Heart of it All! 2024 Pride Band Alliance Conference Finale Concert

The Columbus Pride Bands is gearing up to host one of the most vibrant and musically rich events of the year—the Pride Bands Alliance 2024 Annual Conference. From July 17th to 21st, 2024, the city will be buzzing with artistic collaborations, stunning musical performances, and endless opportunities to immerse yourself in the heart of Columbus’s culture.
