The vibrant city of Annapolis is once again rolling out the rainbow carpet for the annual Annapolis Pride Parade and Festival! This joyous event, scheduled for June 7th, 2025, promises to be a colorful celebration of love, diversity, and community spirit. Whether you're a long-time resident or a first-time visitor, come join us in honoring the beauty and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community.
This year's theme, "Proud and Strong Together," reflects our commitment to unity and solidarity. In a world where division often makes headlines, Annapolis Pride aims to be a beacon of hope and togetherness. We invite everyone, regardless of identity, to stand with us and march in the spirit of equality and acceptance.
The Parade
The parade will kick off at 10 AM, winding through the historic streets of downtown Annapolis. Expect to see a dazzling array of floats, performers, and community groups showcasing their support for LGBTQ+ rights. From local businesses to advocacy organizations, the parade will highlight the diversity of our city and the strength of our community bonds.
Our grand marshals this year are a group of inspiring LGBTQ+ youth leaders who have made significant contributions to promoting inclusivity in Annapolis. Their courage and dedication remind us all of the importance of nurturing the next generation of advocates.
The Festival
Following the parade, the festival will take place at City Dock, turning the heart of Annapolis into a vibrant hub of activity. From 12 PM to 6 PM, festival-goers can enjoy live music, food trucks, vendor stalls, and interactive workshops. There's something for everyone, whether you're looking to dance to the beats of talented local musicians or explore the unique offerings of artisan vendors.
For families, a dedicated Kids Zone will offer fun activities including face painting, arts and crafts, and storytelling sessions. We believe that Pride is for all ages, and we are committed to creating a safe and welcoming space for everyone.
Community Involvement

Volunteering at the festival is a great way to meet new people, give back, and be a part of something truly special. Whether you can spare a few hours or the whole day, every contribution makes a difference.
We also encourage local businesses and organizations to get involved by sponsoring the event or setting up a booth at the festival. It's a fantastic opportunity to show your support for the LGBTQ+ community and connect with thousands of attendees.
