Save the Date: Dayton Pride 2023!

Mark your calendars for the exciting celebration of Dayton Pride hosted by the Greater Dayton LGBT Center. Join us on the first weekend of June for a series of vibrant events that promote inclusivity, love, and acceptance.

The festivities kick off with the lively Affair on the Square on Friday night, where you can immerse yourself in a joyful atmosphere filled with music, entertainment, and a sense of community. Be prepared to dance, laugh, and connect with fellow LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies who share a common vision of equality and celebration.

The excitement continues on Saturday with the highly anticipated Pride Parade, a colorful spectacle that winds its way through the heart of Dayton. Join the march or cheer from the sidelines as floats, marchers, and community groups proudly display their support for LGBTQIA+ rights and visibility.

Following the parade, the PRIDE Festival takes center stage, offering a diverse range of activities, performances, and vendors. Indulge in delicious food, browse through unique offerings, and enjoy live entertainment that celebrates the vibrant spirit of our community. This is the perfect opportunity to connect with local organizations, gather valuable resources, and make meaningful connections with like-minded individuals.

Dayton Pride serves a greater purpose beyond the festivities. It provides a safe and welcoming environment for LGBTQIA+ individuals to express themselves authentically, free from the fear of hate or discrimination. By coming together and celebrating our identities, we strive to raise awareness, foster acceptance, and build support for the LGBTQIA+ community as a whole.

This year’s Dayton Pride will take place on Friday, June 2, from 6-10pm during the exhilarating Affair on the Square, and on Saturday, June 3, from 12-4pm for the vibrant Pride Festival. Save the dates, spread the word, and get ready to join us in creating an unforgettable celebration of love, diversity, and unity.

Let’s stand proud, united, and make Dayton Pride an extraordinary experience that resonates with the spirit of acceptance and belonging.
