Columbus ohio pride parade 2022

Photo Gallery: Stonewall Columbus Pride Protest and Festival returned Saturday amid nationwide No Kings protests

At a.m. Saturday, thousands of marchers took off from Broad and Steep streets and headed north to Goodale Park for the Stonewall Columbus Pride March and Festival. 

Women wearing “Free Mom Hugs” shirts strolled along the edges of the sidewalk — signs reading “Queer Joy is Resistance” and “Trans People Belong” were waved as groups of nonprofit, group, political and corporate organizations walked alongside their peers toward Goodale Park. 

At 11 a.m., the festivities continued with more than vendors, community resources, live entertainment and, of course, freebies, scattered throughout Goodale Park. 

Stickers, beaded necklaces, pens and life-saving items such as fentanyl test strips and Narcan were among the offerings this year, with vendors selling buttons, necklaces, crocheted items and more. A DJ, dance pad and two stages hosted a variety of performers. 

This year’s march and festival — themed “United in Power” — marks the 44th year of Stonewall Columbus’s Celebration

But if you’re looking to celebrate in a way that truly pays homage to our radical legacy and that prioritizes people over earnings, then join us with Community Pride!
