Freedom to Create

The Kennedy Center illuminated with vibrant rainbow colors is reflected in the water at night.

As home to one of the first gay rights organizations in the world, Washington, DC has long been central to LGBTQ+ arts, culture, intelligentsia, and civil rights. In 2025 we will commemorate 50 years of an official Pride celebration in the USA’s capital, and the city offers an impressive collection of public art, museums, tours, and cultural events that celebrate this rich history.

From award winning exhibits to family-friendly activities, DC will leave WorldPride attendees with a revitalized sense of Pride in who we are as a global community.
