Denver Pride returns June 26 and 27, with a mix of in-person and virtual offerings. For the second year in a row, though, COVID-19 has forced the annual parade, which typically brings out 450,000 revelers, entirely online.
The blockbuster gathering that normally takes place at Civic Center Park will be dispersed throughout the city in 2021. The hub locations include the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, which will be a family-friendly Pride destination with outdoor music, storytimes and booths for children, along with discounted tickets for DMNS s indoor offerings. The parking lot at the Center on Colfax will host a mini-fest with food trucks, a DJ and other rooftop entertainment. The Jewish Community Center Denver will hold festivities over two days, including a Saturday night pool party with a DJ. Pride & Swagger will host the Smirnoff Dance World, and the Sie FilmCenter will offer movie-related programming.
