Saturday, June 11, 11am-3pm, Parsons Ave. [between E. Kossuth St. and E. Whittier St.]
“Avenue for All” is a festival championing the vision that Parsons Avenue, and indeed the South Side, are a place for everyone, no matter our age, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, or economic background. While, historically, Parsons Avenue has been a dividing line, it has become a gathering space for the whole community. We invite the community to experience the beauty and power of the South Side’s rich history and diversity and be a part of creating an Avenue for All!

Activation. Celebration. Restoration. If there’s one thing that LGBTQIA+ folx know intuitively, it’s how to move defiantly and triumphantly in crisis. Join us for Franklinton Pride, Franklinton Friday, and the Columbus Arts Festival (that’s right, they’re all on the same night) for “Out Loud and Proud.” An unapologetic celebration of queer identity and authenticity.

It has become increasingly clear that the systems of “justice” in the U.S. fail a vast majority of people, but how do we change it? Join us as we discuss the cultural changes that make abolition possible. Although it is not easy, with self-reflection, honesty, and community support, we can build a world where all can be free without state-sanctioned violence and policing of our bodies and communities.
No recording of this event will be provided.

Pride is a time of celebration, but oftentimes folks living with addiction or in recovery can feel excluded from the fun, with many events centered around consuming substances.
Join moderator Myles Stickle, LISW-S (he/him), and a panel of guests for a conversation about the experience of folks in recovery and how we can enjoy the Pride season while sober.
