Just in terms of the sheer number of Pride events scheduled, June is shaping up to be the biggest Pride Month ever seen in Hampton Roads. And thanks to the amazing and cooperative work of Hampton Roads Pride, this year all of the Seven Cities will host their own Pride celebrations. Throw in many independent Pride events such as Pride Kickoff at MJ’s Tavern and Ghent Pride, and your dance card has no reason to be anything but full next month.

Here’s the latest update on the main stage events. If you have an event not listed here, feel free to add it to our calendar events. It is and will always bee 100% free. Also visit Hampton Roads Pride for more information on these and other Pride events in the 757.
