The Capital Pride Parade is following a new route this year. Find out where to watch — and eat, drink and dance — on Saturday.
takes to the streets on Saturday, it will be on a new route — a straight shot down 14th Street NW, instead of the winding path through Logan and Dupont circles. It will also finish with a new ticketed event:on Pennsylvania Avenue NW, the site of Sunday’s Capital Pride Festival.
The parade has followed different paths over the years: The most recent change, in 2022, reversed the route entirely, switching the starting line from 21st and P streets NW to 14th and T. But it has evolved with the times, too, once ending at Freedom Plaza or Thomas Circle before the growing number of restaurants and business — and LGBTQ residents — made it more attractive to redirect the march north on 14th toward U Street.
And if you don’t love the new route, just remember it’s temporary: The route “will likely change in 2026,” Bos says. “In terms of going all the way down 14th Street, that is likely something the city does not want to do on a permanent basis. ”The reconfigured route means that marchers won’t pass some favorite viewing locations, including Dupont Circle and the block party at 17th and P streets.
If you don’t want to stand outside, ChurchKey’s large windows make it an attractive place to watch the action near 14th and Rhode Island, and doors open at noon. Black Whiskey is narrower but also has windows looking down on 14th Street. The Hamilton, farther down the route, will also have room for walk-ins in its bar area, which faces 14th Street.
