Capital City Pride (Hartford Pride)

Capital City Pride is Hartford's flagship LGBTQ+ celebration, held each June. Organized by the Hartford Pride Center with the City of Hartford's LGBTQ+ Commission, it centers on a Pratt Street festival — "Pride on Pratt" — with vendors, food, and entertainment, followed by a PrideFEST concert at the Mortensen Riverfront Plaza. The celebration reimagines Hartford's historic September PrideFest as a summer street party drawing attendees from across Connecticut.
