The 22nd Annual Cleveland Pride Festival will be held on Saturday, June 26, 2010 at Voinovich Park from 12:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Specifically, this year we will celebrate the passing of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), prohibiting employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, and the acquisition of the 2014 Gay Games to be hosted in Cleveland.

“Traditionally we have always used the third week of June as the date of Pride and have had a great turnout. Now that we have been able to move the event a week later, we are hoping to involve those individuals who normally attend Columbus Pride. This will give the community the availability of not having to choose between which Pride Even they will be able to attend.
