June is Pride Month, and cities across the U.S. are gearing up for parades, events and festivities of all kinds celebrating the LGBTQ+ community, its history and fight for equal rights.
Pride Month commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York, where subsequent protests are credited with a shift in LGBTQ+ activism in the U.S.
Washington, D.C. boasts one of the largest Pride Month celebrations in the U.S., including a parade on June 8 and a festival on June 9. This year's theme is "Totally Radical."
Here's what you'll need to know about catching the Capital Pride Parade in Washington, D.C. this year.
