The Annapolis Pride Parade & Festival is Set

Annapolis Pride is set for this fall. While the timing might feel a little different, it’s landing in our favorite season, when the weather’s just right and the Bay breeze is in the air. The celebration rolls in the week after National Coming Out Day, and you can still count on the same vibrant energy and festivities you love from the summer edition.

With cooler temps setting the scene, festival-goers are encouraged to lean into the season and show up in Halloween costumes for a playful, spooky-themed celebration.

For the official updates, head over to Annapolis Pride’s official website.

Pride Weekend in Annapolis and Anne Arundel County

If you want a weekend stay that is in the heart of the action, the parade route passes The Westin, Hilton Garden Inn Downtown, and The Graduate Hotel. You’ll find plenty of restaurants, nightlife, and things to do within walking distance, too! Visit Annapolis & Anne Arundel County is a proud sponsor of this event.

Anyone who has attended the Annapolis Pride Parade & Festival knows there is no happier occasion. Everyone is smiling, laughing, and waving, usually while decked out in the most boisterous garb— from feather boas, rainbow capes, and tutus to the most magnificent drag queens. But more moving than the visual spectacle is the overwhelming sense of unity and support that community members express toward each other, regardless of their gender or who they love, just by being present.
