HAPPY PRIDE!!   65 Days until the Pride Parade and Festival!!!

Can you believe that countdown?  I have it posted in my Pride office and I change the numbers every day! It’s purely because of my excitement - like Seniors counting down their last days until Graduation -  not because I am stressed about getting everything done in time . . .

There are sooooooooooooooooo many Pride events the month of June! “We aren’t just a Parade and Festival anymore,” that’s what I’ve been saying.  June is officially “PRIDE MONTH” now! We have moved up from just one weekend and definitely from one day! Many of our events have their own official websites, too, with online registration and ticket purchasing. We are definitely advancing the Pride Site so that everything is easily accessible and very user-friendly. Simply click on the “Events” button on the left side of our Columbus Pride Home Page, and you will see a complete list of events with dates, locations, website information, and whatnot.  Many thanks to the various Event Chairs and their committees who bring all of these fabulous - and diverse! - events to you!

I am also including a concise list of events here as I conclude this post. Please refer to the “Events” site for the more detailed information.  Enjoy these events, and HAPPY PRIDE!   - Jan
