The parade honors our past, celebrates our present, and invites our city to imagine a more accessible future. We walk and roll to show the power of protest, the joy of celebration, and the strength of community.

2025 Parade Theme

In 2025, we’ll march under the theme “Love Unites: We’re All In This Together.”  We’re building a citywide celebration where neighbors, allies, and advocates from every background join in the joy, the strength, and the warmth of community.
