The Yellow Springs Pride Parade is arguably the most FABULOUS parade of the year in Yellow Springs, Ohio. People from all walks of life, from all over the country descend on our small town to simply "be themselves" and celebrate others who choose to do the same!
To encourage the community to participate in the festivities, YS Pride has extended the parade route to take the caravan through various neighborhoods throughout the Village. This helps those who are unable to make the trip downtown to witness the parade of fabulosity from their own front yards. Although the parade does not travel to every nook and cranny of the Village, it definitely bends the corner of some prominent neighborhood areas. The 2022 YS Pride Parade will begin and end at the Foundry Theater of Antioch College. Starting at 11 am, on Saturday, June 25, 2022, participants will line up in their Pride-Inspired vehicles and floats. The procession, led by Mayor Pam (Village of Yellow Springs) will make its way through the Village starting at 12 pm. The parade is scheduled to end and arrive back at the Foundry Theater at Antioch College at 1 pm. FOUNDRY THEATRE, ANTIOCH COLLEGE 920 Corry St, Yellow Springs, OH 45387
