Thousands flocked to downtown Cincinnati for the Queen City’s annual LGBTQ+ Pride march and festival.

Attendees kicked off the parade at the corner of West 7th and Plum Streets, then headed south down Vine Street past Fountain Square. The route concluded at Sawyer Point Park and Yeatman’s Cove – where thousands gathered for the subsequent festival on the banks of the Ohio River.
