Thank you very much for visiting our website dedicated to continuing our tradition of celebrating Pride Festivals in Northside. That tradition for me is actually my original experience growing up in Clifton and then moving to Northside in my early twenties, but I love to hear stories from those who celebrated Pride before myself who talk about the downtown event back in the 80s! I also loved our new little Northside Pridefest, at which our attendance was over 2000 throughout the day and evening times last summer! Though it could never compare to Downtown Pride or Previous Cincinnati Prides in Northside its ok, it is not a competition, and we all have the same PRIDE! :) This years festival has been taken of with better planning and more to offer. Since last years events in Hoffner Park were a noble attempt without much fruition we have taken more action to increase activities in Hoffner Park this time around! The park will have FREE Booths for Organizations and Groups, as well as Vendors! There will be a DJ playing music and maybe some special guests! The Leather guys who are friends of The Serpent setting up a Grill Out with food and there will also be free drinks! We know the park will be better received, and the hours at the park are later in the evening this time from 5pm till 10pm so that we can enjoy it as some of the heat fades away! The Events in our northside bars and venues will include an Art Show, Fashion Show, Burlesque and Drag Shows, and Plenty of Bands and DJs! And finally there will also be a photo shoot so that you can tag yourself on facebook in some of the pictures from the Prideful Day! We cant wait to see you there and we will update with more info soon!
