Pride in the CLE

Pride in the CLE is Cleveland's Pride, run by the LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland since 2016. It's a one-day event on the first Saturday of June: a march that starts at Public Square, then a free festival on Malls B and C downtown with stages, vendors and community groups.

The 11th edition was on Saturday 6 June 2026, from 11am to 6pm, and Cleveland Magazine reported that it drew thousands downtown. The 2027 date hadn't been announced in October 2026. Bar parties at Twist, Cocktails and the Leather Stallion carry on into the night, and the Center posts the official schedule at lgbtcleveland.org.
