Out Brigade
You didn’t think we’d let this year take away our right to a parade, did you?! Hop in your decorated car, turn up the music, and join our Out Brigade mobile parade train, as we spread joy, resilience, and PRIDE throughout all 8 Wards of Washington, DC! Participants are encouraged to use their creativity to display their pride with lively banners, flags, costumes, and decorations! Participants with the best decorated Pridemobiles or who has fundraised the most, will be eligible to win exciting prizes.
Proceeds from this event will benefit The DC Center and the Capital Pride Alliance, so that pride celebrations, important programming, and critical advocacy work can continue in 2021 and beyond.
