REGISTRATION IS CLOSED!

March with Stonewall Columbus at the Pride March!

Stonewall Columbus welcomes everyone in the community to march with us to celebrate and commemorate the accomplishments of those who have paved the way before us, to stand up for rights and justice for those in our community who are still oppressed and unheard, and to march toward a future in which everyone can thrive!

What is a Community Marcher?

Community Marchers are individuals, friends, and families who will march toward the front of the procession immediately behind the Stonewall Columbus contingent. These are marchers who are not associated with a business, organization, church or school. Looking to register a group of marchers associated with a business, organization, church or school?

What are the rules?

• No vehicles are permitted.

• Stonewall Columbus does not release any personal contact information about registered individuals; however, registered participants acknowledge that their photo may be taken and posted by Stonewall Columbus and Pride March spectators.

• PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED. The March is nearly 2 miles, and the pavement and sun are very hot. For the safety of your pets, please leave them at home. This excludes certified service animals.

You are free to carry banners and signs with a few restrictions: All signage, whether handheld or worn on body, must be LGBTQ-affirming, reflecting our community in the most positive light. Campaigning or political fundraising is prohibited.

• All participants are responsible for all acts and/or omissions on their part that may result in injury or damage to themselves or others.
