DC Black Pride 2024

For more than 30 years, DC Black Pride has been a place for the Black LGBTQIA+ community to gather and celebrate each other.

DC Black Pride was the catalyst for what is now referred to as the Black Pride Movement. Since the birth of DC Black Pride, more than thirty other Black Pride celebrations now take place throughout the world, many using DC Black Pride as the model.

In 2024, DC Black Pride happens from May 24 to 27!

It is the first official black gay pride event in the United States and one of two officially recognized festivals for the African-American LGBT community. Since 1991, tens of thousands from the D.C. metro area and beyond gather for special celebrations and events to acknowledge the progression of the black LGBT community every Memorial Day weekend.
