How To Spend Your D.C. Pride Week On Rainbow Overdrive
The second weekend of June is when the tentpole events of Capital Pride annually occur. It’s also when the Nation’s Capital, a progressive, inclusive, and diverse city year-round, reaches Pride fever pitch.
Hundreds of thousands of residents and tourists emerge to celebrate the LGBTQ community.Yet a week out, there’s already a palpable Pride-affirming feeling in the air — a sentiment partly conveyed in this year’s Capital Pride theme, “Peace, Love, Revolution” — not to mention all the buildings, homes, streets, and sidewalks festooned and decked out in rainbow-centric decor.
What follows is a selective rundown of Pride-related highlights starting this weekend and going through next, with links provided for more information.
