Denver PrideFest came back with a splash after two years of virtual festivities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Civic Center Park was filled with people celebrating the advances queer rights have made and also to protest the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and the rash of anti-trans and anti-queer legislation over the past few years.
While we already shared some of the highlights of the weekend, it’s hard to capture the full essence of PrideFest’s return in a single gallery. And why not keep Pride Month rolling just a bit longer?
Make sure to check out our photos from the Denver PrideFest, and remember that, even though June is over, Pride is all year long!
