Seaso From parades and performances to trivia and drag queens — and even daytime drinking on a boat — we&#;ve rounded up a fantastic slate of Pride events happening over the next five weeks. And many of them are free. As diversity and inclusion continue to become more embedded into the fabric of our city and region, so have Pride events and activities, with many running all year round. This means you have even more ways to aid, join and uplift Pittsburgh’s LGBTQIA+ community — and have fun while doing it. Here&#;s where to start.
