About the event

Letter from the Organizer Dear Community Partners, Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Baltimore Pride 2026. We’re excited to invite you to be part of this year’s celebration—“Charm City Homecoming: Pride Lives Here.” Baltimore Pride has always meant something special. It’s not just about one weekend. It’s about showing up for each other, making space for joy, and reminding people they don’t have to shrink themselves to fit in. For a lot of us, Pride is the one time we can fully breathe, fully belong, and be surrounded by community that feels like home. That’s why this year’s theme matters so much. “Pride Lives Here” is a message to every LGBTQ/SGL person who has ever wondered if they’re welcome. It’s a reminder that Pride doesn’t only exist on a stage or in a parade route—it lives in our neighborhoods, our families and chosen families, our local businesses, our community leaders, and the people who keep showing up, even when things are hard. A sponsorship from your organization isn’t just a logo on a banner. It helps us build a Pride that’s safe, affirming, and accessible—and it helps us keep this work going beyond Pride season. Your support strengthens the Pride Center of Maryland’s ability to serve the community year-round, especially those who are most impacted by systemic barriers—Black LGBTQ/SGL communities, trans and gender-expansive folks, and people navigating housing and behavioral health challenges. We’d love to partner with you to make Baltimore Pride 2026 something our city can be proud of—something that feels like a real homecoming. Thank you for standing with the community and for helping Pride live right here in Baltimore.
