Annapolis Pride Parade and Festival

October is LGBTQ+ History Month, so let’s celebrate Pride in October with cooler weather!

The Parade steps off at 11 AM and will proceed down West Street to Amos Garrett Blvd.  After the parade, pick up a shuttle along West Street to go to the Festival, where two stages will feature musical artists, including our Grand Marshal Ryan Cassata. The Annapolis Pride Queen, Jalah Nicole, and her entourage will perform.  A children’s area will include a bouncy house, face painting, and art activities courtesy of ArtFarm.

New this year is an enclosed sensory tent for those who might feel overwhelmed at the festival.  Come in, have a seat, catch your breath, color, play with fidgets, or do whatever you need before rejoining the fun.

We have food vendors and over 150 vendors selling unique art and organizations sharing their information with you.

Parking will be at Navy Stadium, and ADA shuttles will be available to take you from the stadium to the parade and to the festival.  After the parade, if you choose to have lunch downtown, you can always take a City of Annapolis shuttle to Park Place and take an Annapolis Pride shuttle directly to the festival or walk a few blocks.  Navy Stadium parking is available presale for $20 + fees.  Click HERE to purchase parking in advance, and it will be $30 flat the day of the event.
