Pride in the CLE

Pride in the CLE brings the high energy and positive spirit Cleveland deserves every year. Pride in the CLE ensures that Northeast Ohio is afforded a Pride event that not only celebrates our LGBTQ+ community, but also advocates for the equitable and just treatment for ALL in our community. One of the things that makes Cleveland such a great place to be is the diversity of its people, whether it be of ethnic background, socioeconomic status or sexual orientation. To that end, Cleveland Pride, Inc. and the LGBT Center Cleveland join for an annual event celebrating our city’s iconic LGBTQ+ community – Pride in the CLE. Pride in the CLE® 2026 will take place on Saturday, June 6 from 11 am to 6 pm. Staging for the march will begin at 10 am in Public Square with the march stepping off at 11 am. More Than a March Pride in the CLE's signature event is a march that aims to show off our community's strength and unity. Visitors are encouraged to come to the march being their authentic selves. Following the kick-off march, the event turns into a bustling all-day festival featuring a diverse array of vendors - areas of interest include healthcare, activism, social groups and nonprofits - as well as live music, entertainment and DJs to keep you dancing all day. The Celebration Never Stops In addition to the many amazing daytime festivities, expect a variety of nighttime events located in neighborhoods and indoor venues throughout the city.
