As one of the oldest Pride events in the country, Baltimore Pride has celebrated the diversity of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community in Maryland and throughout the mid-Atlantic for over 30 years. Attended annually by more than 30,000 people, Baltimore Pride is recognized not only as the premier GLBT event in Maryland, but also as one of the foremost festivals in Baltimore city. The parade and block party are held in Mount Vernon, one of the most historic areas in the city and the center of GLBT activity in Baltimore. The festival takes place alongside the beautiful Druid Hill Lake and provides a gorgeous environment for the festivities of the day.

For over 30 years, Baltimore Pride has been Maryland's largest GLBT visibility event. The events of the Pride season exemplify the strength and growth of the GLBT community. More importantly, Baltimore Pride emphasizes the importance of diversity in our community, making it stronger and more accepting of all individuals and their contributions to our society.

Baltimore Pride has grown from a small gathering of a handful of people to the largest gathering of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender individuals and straight allies in Maryland. Among these attendees are elected and appointed government officials, including the mayor and the president of the city council of Baltimore, who join each year to show their support for the diversity of our community.
