radpride 2025
Rad Pride is an entirely community-run and supported event that is planned out months in advance. However, we wait until the week before the event to announce the location. One of the reasons is to prevent attacks and harassment from malicious attendees.We apologize for any inconvenience that this may bring. We all want to ensure the safety of everybody in and around our community. Additionally, we determine Rad Pride's location by its accessibility, keeping in mind ease of navigation, access to public transit, bathrooms, etc.
