Pride in the CLE
Saturday, June 7 | 11AM-6PM | Malls B + C
Pride in the CLE is an annual event, put on by the LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland and held in downtown Cleveland, celebrating the city’s vibrant LGBTQ+ community. Pride in the CLE’s signature event is a march demonstrating the community's strength and unity. The march is followed by an all-day festival, featuring a diverse array of vendors.
The march and festival are FREE and open to all. 2025 will be the 10th Pride in the CLE festival, and the 50th anniversary of the LGBT Center of Greater Cleveland, one of the nation’s oldest LGBTQ+ centers and a prominent organization in our city and state.
The march will begin staging at 10am and step off at 11am at Public Square, heading through downtown and culminating at Malls B and C, where the fun will continue at the main festival. There will be a wide variety of vendors, including healthcare, activism, social groups and nonprofits, along with a full day of music, entertainment, performances, and more. An array of food and drink options will be available on-site as well.
The fun doesn’t stop after the festival ends at 6pm – a variety of nighttime events continue across the city. Enjoy downtown’s many bars and restaurants, and keep the fun going in our city center and across other nearby neighborhoods!
