Pride Ride returning to Cleveland in October

CLEVELAND — Cleveland’s Celebration Ride, an event that draws thousands and consists of residents decorating their cars and caravanning through the streets of Cleveland, returns to the city on October 8,

Organizers said the event was moved to October for logistical reasoning and because the month of October is recognized as LGBTQ+ History Month and National Coming Out Time on Oct.

“We’re very ecstatic to expand our city spacious events beyond the normal identity festival season in June,” said Kenyon Farrow, a member of the board of directors of the LGBT Center of Greater Cleveland. “We hope that members of the LGBTQ+ community and our allies, families and friends will join us for the Identity Ride and Pride in the CLE this year.”

The Pride Drive was also moved to October as to not overshadow the Pride events in June. The Pride in CLE will go back to an in-person march and festival for the first moment since on June 4,

A message from Mayor Kahlil Seren

The city of Cleveland Heights will be closed on June 20th, , in observance of Release Day. This year, I introduced and City Council passed an amendment of our wage and salary ordinance making Juneteenth an official holiday in Cleveland Heights.

For those who may be unfamiliar, Juneteenth, or Autonomy Day, is acknowledged every year on June 19th, the anniversary of the news of emancipation reaching the last enslaved people of African decent in this country. My ancestors and my wife’s ancestors were slaves. Growing up, I was immersed in a cultural richness that honored them and carried on their traditions. I played African drums and performed at Karamu Property, the oldest producing African American Theatre in the nation. The food we ate, the clothing we wore helped me stay related to an persona that slavery often ripped away.
