2023 LGBTQ+ Ohio Pride Guide
We are proud to present to you here our 2023 LGBTQ+ Ohio Pride Guide, a list we will keep updating as we get more information (so please e-mail us if we missed a celebration in your neck of the woods!).
This Pride Guide is now searchable, sortable and…importable! Click on an individual Pride event and you will be able to import it directly into your calendar.
During a tumultuous time when so much negativity is being thrown at LGBTQ+ Ohioans, it is so critically important that take every opportunity we can to prioritize joy, visibility and community.
See you there.
