Everything to know if you're attending WorldPride 2025 in D.C.
The largest LGBTQ+ festival in the world is making its way to Washington this week. The streets of the nation's capital will be filled with pageantry, parties and protests, and crowds will pack theaters and museums, nightclubs and concerts, and a conference on human rights. It's lost on no one that WorldPride is celebrated at a time when the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans are under attack by an administration headquartered blocks away from some of its biggest events.
If you're attending any WorldPride events between now and June 8, here's what you need to know. We also have guides to D.C.'s essential LGBTQ+ bars and restaurants, as well as recommended events for every day of the festival.
