June is Pride Month and DC's Capital Pride Alliance is hosting WorldPride – a global festival that promotes LGBTQ+ visibility and awareness – on Saturday, June 7, which is expected to draw thousands of visitors from across the country.
"This beloved tradition honors our history and acknowledges the evolution of the LGBTQ+ neighborhoods in Washington, DC, while respecting the origins and importance of taking to the streets in our fight for equality," the event's website reads.
WorldPride, which began May 17, is brimming with events and celebrations – musical performances, fashion shows, discussion groups and subcommunity gatherings such as Trans Pride, Latinx Pride, Youth Pride and beyond.
The festival culminates with the city’s Pride Parade on June 7 and a massive rally and march from the Lincoln Memorial to the U.S. Capitol on June 8.
