The centerpiece of Denver PrideFest, the Mile High City’s annual celebration of LGBT Pride, is the Coors Light PrideFest Parade. The parade stretches down Colfax Avenue to Civic Center Park to join the Denver PrideFest celebration. The theme for this year’s festivities was “Building Community Through Pride.”

Denver PrideFest 2016 marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of the GLBT Community Center of Colorado, the nonprofit organization that puts together Denver PrideFest and now serves more than 45,000 people annually with programs serving LGBT youth and seniors, the transgender community, and provides legal referrals and expertise concerning LGBT issues.
