This event page is specifically for our 2026 Annual Sponsorships- options for organizations and groups to support Cincinnati Pride through multiple events throughout the year, including our 2026 Parade and Festival, which is detailed below.
Each year, we bring downtown Cincinnati to life with one of the largest Pride celebrations in the Midwest. The day begins with the Pride Parade stepping off at 11:00 AM, followed by a full festival experience from 12:00 to 8:00 PM that transforms the city into a joyful, unapologetic celebration of LGBTQIA+ community.
The festival features live music, drag performances, local food trucks, community vendors, family friendly activities, and a vibrant crowd of more than 280,000 attendees. It is a powerful reflection of the diversity, resilience, and individuality that make our community thrive.
Cincinnati Pride exists to promote inclusion and acceptance while affirming each person’s identity and lived experience. Through this festival and our year-round programs, we work to inspire, educate, and honor our rich history while celebrating the culture and creativity of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Beyond the festival, Cincinnati Pride collaborates with local organizations and businesses through partnerships, sponsorships, outreach, and educational initiatives. We are committed to providing resources, supporting local economic growth, and creating opportunities that positively impact people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions across the Greater Cincinnati region.
