Join us Sunday, June 29, 2025 beginning at 9:30 AM for the parade! The Coors Light Denver Pride Parade, historically held on Colfax Avenue, will be moving its route in 2025 due to current construction for the East Colfax Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project.

We will continue to use a similar staging plan as years past, but the new step off of the parade will be at 17th Avenue and Franklin Street, and the parade will conclude at Lincoln Street. The Center has been working with many different stakeholders, including the BRT project team, over the last ten months who collectively agreed that a move would be best suited for safety reasons, as well as providing the best possible event experience for both the large number of parade participants and spectators.

Attending the parade is FREE! We encourage you to find your place along the route early, as 100,000+ people are expected to line the streets of this year parade as they take in the sights and sounds, as we come together to celebrate the Rocky Mountain queer community.
