About the event

Join Us in Celebrating 50 Years of Baltimore Pride! On behalf of the Pride Center of Maryland, our CEO, and Board of Directors, we invite you to celebrate a historic milestone: the 50th Anniversary of Baltimore Pride. This is more than a celebration—it’s a testament to five decades of resilience, progress, and the unwavering dedication of the LGBTQ/SGL community and its allies. Baltimore Pride has grown into one of the region’s most anticipated events, attracting over 150,000 participants, national sponsors, diverse vendors, and thousands of parade attendees. This year’s theme, “50 Shades of Pride,” celebrates our community's vibrant diversity, honors those who paved the way, and reaffirms our commitment to equity and justice. For five decades, Baltimore Pride has been a beacon of visibility and empowerment, uniting generations and amplifying voices. It’s not just about the events—it’s about the lives we uplift and the futures we build together.
