Washington DC’s Capital Pride is one of the nation’s biggest and most diverse Pride festivals. This year, they’re again proving their dedication to equality and inclusion by featuring two grand marshalls and festival headliners of color. So far, it’s the only major Pride festival to be led by Black people.
Actor Billy Porter and actress, singer, and all-around badass Keke Palmer will headline the weekend event. The concert lineup will also feature Ava Max, Exposé, and Sapphira Cristál.
DC’s parade, festival, and concert are free, with tickets available for purchase in select areas, including the Capitol Stage Pit Zone and the VIP Concert Zone.
