Cleveland returns to one major Pride event.

The Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Community Center of Greater Cleveland

and Cleveland Pride Inc. have reached an agreement to consolidate Cleveland's two annual Pride events into a single annual event under the Pride in the CLE brand. With this stronger unified event, we are bringing the entire community together in one place on one day to celebrate how far we've come and look to the future together.

Planning is well underway for this year's Pride in the CLE, which will include a series of fun, inclusive events throughout the community from Thursday, May 31 to Sunday, June 3. The Pride in the CLE march and festival will be held on Saturday, June 2nd at Cleveland's Public Square.

If you are looking for opportunities to reinforce your company or organization's commitment to the LGBTQ+ community, a wide range of sponsorship opportunities are still available.

As more opportunities to get involved become available, you can expect more information right here. Be sure to follow the Pride in the CLE Facebook Page and LGBT Cleveland Community Center for more information as well.
