The march proceeds north on High St. toward Goodale Park.
June 28, 1969 marked the beginning of the Stonewall Uprising—six days of events between police and LGBTQ+ protesters. While the Stonewall Inn and Uprising became widely known due to media coverage and the annual Pride traditions that followed, it was the fulcrum upon which years of LGBTQ+ activism shifted.
The first Pride march in Columbus, Ohio was held in June 1981. Only 200 people were in attendance, and some wore bags over their heads to conceal their identities.
OIA is back at Columbus Arts Festival for another celebration of culture and humanity. At this FREE event, Mauritanian-American pop star Salif Sarr will perform some of his greatest hits. Shema Asifiwe will present his new coloring book, "Ohio Is My Second Country," and Demba Ndiath will read from his forthcoming book, "From Welcome to Deportation."
Join CRIS for food, music, children’s activities, country tables, cultural displays, and celebration.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now — at An Evening with Green Columbus.
Come eat, drink, network, and turn your ticket into real trees across Central Ohio. Every dollar invested in community trees returns $2 to $5 in cooler streets, cleaner air, lower energy bills, and higher property values.
Tickets: $100
We're raising $25,000 that night for new plantings, and we can't get there without you. Every ticket and every donation puts more trees in the ground where they are needed most.
June 6, 11am-2pm

Over the next 28 days, we need at least 1,000 folks to collect a minimum of 13 signatures a day to get to our goal.

This feels like a huge distance, but it truly is reachable with such a passionate community like ours.
We have officially moved into our new home, and now we need help bringing the space to life.
After an incredible first round of volunteer support, we’re inviting our community back to help us unpack, organize, and decorate before reopening for LGBTQ+ youth.
June 2, 3:00PM–6:00PM
Every poster hung, every supply unpacked, and every room organized helps create a space where queer youth can feel welcomed, affirmed, and connected
