FREDERICK PRIDE PARADE
Frederick Pride 2025 is almost here! Friday, June 27th at 7:00pm, we will kick off the first-ever FREDERICK PRIDE PARADE! Want to know what to expect?
The mission of this parade is to acknowledge and celebrate the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City that served as a catalyst for the LGBTQ+ Pride celebrations throughout the world, and to do so in a safe, inclusive, and family friendly manner.
The streets of Downtown Frederick will be filled with the LGBTQ+ community, supporters, friends, and allies. Floats filled with organizations, clubs, drag queens, and our FREDERICK PRIDE COURT will be parading through our city. We will have floats with representation from all over the city, Off-Kiltered Riding Club and their motorcycles, dance performers, a live marching band, cheer performances, and a live musical performance by our very own Emma Viivaca on top of the MD double decker bus. Come out to the inaugural Frederick Pride parade with your pride flags, rainbow garb, and be a part of Frederick Pride history!
