Group March Registration
About the event
About the application
Pride in the CLE begins with a march to honor our history with a visible demonstration that we cannot and will not be silent in our march towards equality for all. This march is meant to be a powerful, visible demonstration of pride, resilience, and solidarity.
Please be sure to carefully review our March Rules & Regulations carefully and reach out through Eventeny with any questions.
The March & Chanting
Pride started as a riot. It began as a rebellion led by members of the LGBTQ+ community who refused to be silenced. Today, our joy is still political, and our visibility is still our strongest resistance. In a climate that frequently seeks to roll back our rights and quiet our community, we don’t just walk — we march.
For 2026, we are transforming the Pride in the CLE march into a powerful, unified protest. We are moving away from being just a parade and are instead embracing a true march. We need your voice to stand at the very head of the pack — to be the pulse that the rest of the march follows.
We are looking for folx who are comfortable speaking loudly, sustaining high energy, and motivating the crowd to join in. Whether you are a seasoned activist or a first-time marcher, we need you with us!
Please select to opt in or opt out to the chants so that we can better organize marchers!
