Throughout the day, vendors will be set up around Lake Elizabeth, and local artists will perform. “Instead of being more of a parade-type setting, it’s going to be more of a march.”ĬOVID-19 safety protocols will be in place for the Saturday event from noon - 6 p.m. “We want to bring it back to the beginning,” Stanley said. Dena Stanley, CEO of Trans YOUniting, said she wants to channel Stonewall throughout this year’s celebrations. Beginning at noon on Saturday, June 5, there will be a march from downtown to Allegheny Commons Park on the North Side. Next weekend kicks off “ Pittsburgh Pride Revolution,” with a mix of virtual and in-person events. Celebrations are back this year, and the two major celebrations are being led by Black transgender advocacy groups. It’s been almost a year since downtown Pittsburgh Pride celebrations were cancelled due to COVID-19 and the dissolution of the group that had long organized it.
