Stonewall Columbus PRIDE 2020

Stonewall Columbus presents

June 19 + 20, 2020

October 3, 2020 (Rescheduled-VIRTUAL EVENT)

 

In early April COVID-19 forced us to postpone the Stonewall Columbus Pride Festival and Parade and since that announcement the world and our organization has changed. As an organization we have undergone leadership change; reaffirmed a commitment that Black Lives Matter, that Trans Black Lives Matter; and have done work to acknowledge our misaligned moments of the past so we ensure we push a better future forward for all of us.

And, yet still in July as the realities of COVID-19 settled in we realized that we would not be able to gather together in person–a possibility that looms yet for 2021. We pivoted, again, and began production on a virtual moment of Pride celebration for October 3 as we celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month with just as much PRIDE as we celebrate in June–we hope you’ll join us!

On October 3rd, starting at 11:30am, we will live broadcast “Pride Parades of History” highlighting some of the last 30+ years of Pride events in Columbus. That evening we’ll ask you to join along as Lift Yourself Up goes live from the Stonewall building—join online and show your PRIDE! We also encourage participation in the first ever national Pride Stride event happening now through October 31st–register for the Stonewall Columbus Pride Stride event here.

Stay tuned through the month of October as we live broadcast Saturdays at 11:30am more announcements and celebrations of Pride! Gather, safely, with your friends during the month to show your PRIDE and join in the fun by sharing your images and videos on social media—tagging #SWCPride365 + #PRIDE365 + #StonewallColumbusPride!

Be sure to check out Columbus’ City Hall as it’s lit-up with PRIDE October 1 – 4 and weekends through October 25^th!
