In contrast to the weekend’s gray skies, an abundance of rainbows filled the streets on Saturday, as thousands—dressed to the nines in pride colors—celebrated DC’s Capital Pride Parade, which returned fully in person for the first time since pre-COVID.

Stretching for roughly 1.5 miles through Shaw, Logan Circle, and Dupont Circle, the celebration of love and self-expression lasted for hours and offered an emotional reprieve for those who had also attended the March for Our Lives protest earlier in the day.
