About this event

  • 4 hours 30 minutes

Join us for a major milestone celebration as we march in this year's Capital Pride March for the first time in our history! Set against the backdrop of our nation's capital, our participation heralds a vibrant affirmation of our commitment to the queer community and showcases our growth into Washington, DC, earlier this year. Kick off festivities with us at a lively rooftop mixer, follow by a spirited march through the heart of the capital. This more than just a march: it's an expression of our collective pride, resilience, and the radical spirit of inclusion. Whether you're a long-time supporter or new to Build Out Alliance, this promises to be an unforgettable part of your Pride celebrations!
