Our Story
Join us in celebrating our second year of Pride in Dallas. We will be hosting a week-long celebration of love with various events beginning on Monday, September 11, throughout Cedar Springs and Oaklawn.
The theme for this year is Strong 2gether. Stronger 2gether is a powerful message of unity and resilience. This year, we must unite even more. In the face of opposition and anti-LGBTQ+ bills that threaten the safety and rights of our drag queen and trans siblings, we refuse to be silenced. We believe that drag queens and trans rights are human rights, and demand equality and justice for all.
By marching in this parade, we make ourselves visible to the world and show that love knows no boundaries. Together, we are Stronger 2gether.
Our Mission
Pride in Dallas serves to provide celebrations of LGBTQ+ Pride in the heart of the queer Dallas community. Our mission drives us to deepen the connection LGBTQ+ individuals have to the safe spaces that have cultivated and supported Pride celebrations since their inception, and facilitate events that inspire, educate, commemorate, and celebrate our diverse community.
