Join us as we kick off the 46th Annual PrideFest with a powerful moment of reflection, resilience, and unity. “Rally for Our Right: The Pride March” is a tribute to the origins of Pride as a protest and a rallying call to continue the fight for equality, justice, and our rights. We rally for Trans rights, equal rights, reproductive rights, and healthcare rights: basic human rights

Pride in St. Louis began as a protest march where LGBTQIA+ activists took to the streets to demand visibility, rights, and dignity. Today, we honor that legacy by marching down Market Street toward City Hall.

This is more than a symbolic walk. It is a declaration that we are still here, still proud, and still fighting. At a time when the LGBTQIA+ community continues to face attacks and erasure, we march to show our strength, celebrate our progress, and honor those who paved the way.

Meet us at Kiener Plaza at 9:30 AM on Saturday, June 27, as we come together in solidarity. March starts at 9:45am. Rally starts at 10:15am at City Hall

All are welcome. Stand tall. Be seen. March with Pride.
