Pittsburgh Pride 2015

Pittsburgh Pride – Pittsburgh Pride is the premier LGBT community festival in Pennsylvania, featuring the Pride March, PrideFest and other events in June and is sponsored by the Delta Foundation of Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh, PA.

PrideFest is a day-long FREE event that takes place on Liberty Avenue in Downtown Pittsburgh between 6th Street and 10th Street.  In 2014, we had over 95,000 attendees (according to City of Pittsburgh estimates), and this year promises to be bigger and better than ever!

This year’s event will feature:

• Over 150 vendors
• Street performers
• Food booths
• Family friendly carnival games and inflatable attractions
• A wide variety of continuous entertainment on two stages.

This year, we are anticipating over 130 organizations and groups participating in the PrideMarch representing thousands of people….more than the Veterans Day Parade, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette!  Once again led by the Dykes on Bikes contingent, this year’s parade participants will consist of a caravan of LGBT organizations, community groups, corporations, and politicians.

THE ROUTE

The March begins at the corner of Grant Street & the Blvd. of the Allies, proceeds down Grant Street, turns left onto Fifth Avenue, and finally a right onto Liberty Avenue.  The grandstand will be located at the PrideFest entrance at Liberty Avenue and Sixth Street.
