In June 1975 the annual Pride Celebration began in our Nation’s Capital. This occurred six years after a police raid on the Stonewall Inn, which incited a riot that lasted for several days and sparked a revolution of activism that exists today. #StillWe honor those heroes who paved the way for the progress that we now enjoy, while acknowledging the tremendous amount of work that we have left to accomplish. In spite of extreme adversity facing members of the LGBTQ+ community, #StillWe must come together to support, love, resist, thrive, and RIOTously dance!

We’ve stacked a line-up of both local, national, and world-famous queer performance artists to represent those who truly make up our crazy-talented inclusive LGBTQ+ community. Kick off your weekend at DC’s largest Pride party. On Friday, June 12, 2020, Capital Pride Presents RIOT! The Opening Party of Capital Pride Weekend.
