Hartford Pride Center

The Hartford Pride Center is the community organization behind Capital City Pride, Hartford's flagship LGBTQ+ celebration. Working in partnership with the City of Hartford's LGBTQ+ Commission, the Center reimagined the city's Pride as a June street festival on Pratt Street with a PrideFEST concert at the Mortensen Riverfront Plaza. Beyond the annual festival, the Center coordinates year-round visibility efforts, community partnerships, and programming that connect Hartford's LGBTQ+ residents, businesses, and allies throughout Connecticut's capital region.
