It’s that time of year again — time to rally together in the name of grassroots Pride! We invite you to join us for Columbus Community Pride 2025: Riot and Resilience – The Pulse of Our Power. This year, we’ll hold events from June through September, culminating in our Community Pride Festival on Saturday, October 11, 2025 from 12–7 PM at Mayme Moore Park.

Now in our seventh year, Columbus Community Pride continues to honor the legacy of resistance, survival, and Black queer brilliance. As we face relentless waves of violence — from global genocide and local police brutality to anti-trans legislation and rainbow capitalism — we are reminded that Pride must be rooted in resistance, care, and abolition. We are still here. And we are still fighting.
