Parade Details

The 2025 Baltimore Pride parade takes place on Saturday, June 14. Information about parade details, including our meeting time and location, will be emailed to registered participants the day prior to the event. We’ll be handing out shirts, taking pictures, and enjoying our community. We’ll be meeting at 11 a.m. for the parade to begin at 12 p.m. We’ll gather for a group picture before we march. Look for the Hopkins team!

The first 200 people to arrive will receive t-shirts. Additional participants are encouraged to either wear a white top or any favorite Johns Hopkins gear. Bring signs, wear your favorite rainbow suspenders, and help us be loud, proud, and visible!

From the starting point, the parade marches north on Charles Street and ends at 29th Street. At the end of the parade, you’re encouraged to enjoy the post-event block party.

It will be hot and humid! Please dress for the weather, bring lots of water, sunscreen, and snacks. We will be standing around in the hot sun and then walking about one mile. If you have mobility concerns, please indicate on the participation form.

Please share your photos on social media with the tag #HopkinsPride. We’re so excited to celebrate with you!
