On Friday, March 20th, we welcomed the Spring Equinox. That means that summer is not far away. With summer comes the DC Capital Pride Festival 2026 — including the much-loved and anticipated Pride Parade and Festival. This year’s parade will take place on Saturday, June 20, with the festival and concert following on Sunday, June 21. Dates were shifted to the third weekend of June to avoid conflicts with citywide events for the U.S. 250th anniversary.
This year, the theme is “Exist. Resist. Have the Audacity.” Dignity Washington is preparing to participate boldly in the events. You are invited to the first pride planning meeting. Mark your calendar for Sunday, April 12, at 4:30pm in the Library at St Margaret’s and join in making plans for our appearance in the parade and festival!
Please also mark Pride Night OUT at the Nationals — scheduled for Wednesday, June 24, 2026. More details will be provided in mid-May.
