Downtown Toledo Pride Celebration 2021
It’s almost Pride weekend in Toledo! There is so much planned between the big event in Promenade and all the fun happening on Adams St, you’ll surely be busy. We’ve put together a schedule of everything going on. Please be advised that Pride is different this year. There will be no parade and the party in Promenade Park is a ticketed event happening in three different sessions. All three sessions are sold out.

ASL interpreters will be provided at each show.
All three sessions are sold out.
Toledo After Pride Street Party
Keep the party going with Georgjz hosting their biggest Pride party yet.
