The annual Capital Pride Parade and Festival will be held June 8 and 9 this year in DC, with events in neighborhoods including Shaw, Logan Circle, downtown DC, and Penn Quarter. (The parade this year has a different route, and is not going through the Dupont Circle neighborhood as in years past, although Dupont will still host the block party.) For those hoping to take part in the festivities and looking for a convenient place to stay, we’ve got suggestions. From townhome apartments near the main attractions, to studios within walking or Metro distance of the action, here are some of the best Airbnbs to book so you can celebrate Pride all weekend long. As of the publication date, all were available for Pride weekend.
A Modern Dupont Circle Two-Bedroom Apartment
This two-bedroom apartment, filled with clean and modern design, is in Dupont Circle, which gives you relatively easy access to Pride events, especially the block party. The apartment can comfortably sleep up to five guests and includes a full kitchen and living space.
