CINCINNATI PRIDE 2020 CANCELED
After much consideration and debate, we are officially announcing the cancellation of the 2020 Cincinnati Pride Festival & Parade, which was scheduled to occur on October 3. Given the constant threat of Covid-19, it is not in the best interest of the community in which we serve to have such a large event that places tens of thousands of attendees at such high risk for spreading this potentially deadly virus.
To say that 2020 has been challenging, could possibly be the understatement of the year. We want to thank you for your patience throughout this unprecedented planning process. We understand the disappointment many of you feel by not being able to attend one of your favorite annual events this year. Events like ours, are meant to bring members of the community together. To educate. To act as a safe space. Unfortunately for everyone, 2020 has had other plans.
Not now, does not mean never. We will begin work on our 2021 festivities in a few months, continuing to adjust to the new normal we face. We welcome anyone who is wanting to help in the planning process. And remember, Pride is more than just a festival or a parade. It is more than just one day per year. Pride is a constant state of mind, one that we should all be able to embrace every day.
Our work as a community is never done. We ask that everyone verify that you are registered to vote, and to register if you are not. Request an absentee ballot if you do not feel comfortable voting in person at your precinct (and remember to mail it back ASAP or drop if off at your Board of Elections collection site). Vote. Volunteer. Protest. Make your voices heard. Stay healthy, stay safe, and continue fighting for justice and equality for all.
We look forward to seeing you June 26, 2021!
