About This Event
Rochester Pride Parade & Festival is the city's largest LGBTQ+ celebration, organized by Trillium Health each July. The parade steps off on South Avenue and marches to Highland Park, where a daytime festival features a main stage, vendors and community booths. It draws around 20,000 people and keeps a family-friendly focus. Rochester Black Pride and the October ImageOut film festival round out the city's queer calendar.
