Pride Events in Ohio

Pride events are a fun, exciting way to support the LGBTQ+ community no matter your sexual orientation or gender identity. When people think about pride events, colorful parades in June (LGBT Pride Month) are probably the first things to come to mind. However, many organizers of pride events tie in educational events, fundraisers and more throughout the year.

Stark PRIDE Festival will take place June 8th, 2024

Stark Pride is a volunteer committee of diverse individuals that strives to be inclusive by welcoming people of all races, ages and backgrounds. Stark PRIDE Festival is generously supported by Queer In Canton.
