DC Pride Parade
Start: Saturday, June 20, 2026•01:00 PM
For the OPEN contingent in the DC Pride parade this Saturday, we will meet up in the "staging area" on 15th street somewhere in the 2-block area BETWEEN Q & R STREETS. Please arrive there between 3:30 and 4:00pm.
Look for a brown Honda CRV with OPEN's "Normalize Non-monogamy" banner on the top.
Dupont Circle is the nearest metro but it's also a similar 6 block walk from U St, Farragut North and West stations.
PLEASE come ready to walk in heat about 2.5 miles total: good shoes, hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, water bottle, fanny pack or backpack. Arrive pre-hydrated! We will have some additional water and ice in the SUV for refills.
Last year we had about 30 poly/ENM people for our parade contingent proudly flying the colors for Polyamory and Ethical Non-monogamy for all of the crowd along the parade route. Would LOVE to have more this year! Come out! Bring friends! And let's put non-monogamy prominently out there! This is HOW we actually start to make progress to "Normalize Non-monogamy" by physically showing up and showcasing the message and the cause! Let's do this.
