The Cincinnati Pride Parade and Festival will take place on Saturday, June 28, 2025. The parade will start at approximately 11 a.m., lining up at Seventh and Plum streets starting at 10 a.m. The festival will run from 12 noon to 9 p.m. at Sawyer Point.
In this era when there are sweeping anti-trans bills in state legislatures, and efforts to undermine the rights of all Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer persons, we are hoping for a huge showing of UUs! To participate in the parade, be at Seventh and Plum Streets by 10:00 a.m. to find parking and find the people in the yellow clothes and with the yellow banners in that vicinity. Our float will be a minivan with a huge flaming chalice on top. You can view the parade route at the Cincinnati Pride Parade information page here: https://www.cincinnatipride.
For more information on UU involvement in the parade, contact MJ Pierson by email at
or by phone at 513-258-4784.
The Pride Festival takes place at Sawyer Point and Yeatman’s Cove, 705 East Pete Rose Way, Cincinnati, OH 45202. It’s once again free for everyone. There’s food, drinks, vendors, and entertainment to fill your Saturday afternoon with fun.

You can help people learn about Unitarian Universalism at the UU Booth! It’s a lot of fun working a shift at the booth, talking with people, handing out information, and watching the crowd. There have been recent years in which our booth made contact with at least 700 people!
Bob Lamb is in charge of the UU booth this year. A SignUpGenius for booth volunteers can be found at: https://tinyurl.com/CincyPrideUU2025
