Denver Pride

Every third weekend in June, the Mile High City is transformed into a resplendent rainbow of love and unity. Denver Gay Pride shines on at its absolute finest over the course of two days. PrideFest first graced Denver with its presence in 1976, when the GLBT Community Center of Colorado first opened its doors. It is an event that spans across two days and begins with the Pride 5K, which attracts members from the community of all ages.

The day after the race, Denver Gay Pride concludes with a parade downtown, where there are hundreds of floats and even more individuals who march in the streets, creating an explosion of color and love to take over Colorado's capital. Over the past three years alone, the attendance at Denver's PrideFest has skyrocketed, from 100,000 to over 375,000 guests attending in 2018, which makes it one of the largest pride festivals in the United States of America. In addition to the two main events, there are also smaller happenings that occur over the weekend for everyone to partake in.
