June is Pride Month, and cities across the U.S. are gearing up for parades, events and festivities of all kinds celebrating the LGBTQ+ community, its history and fight for equal rights.
Pride Month commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York, where subsequent protests are credited with a shift in LGBTQ+ activism in the U.S.
Washington, D.C. boasts one of the largest Pride Month celebrations in the U.S., including a parade on June 8 and a festival on June 9. This year's theme is "Totally Radical."
Here's what you'll need to know about catching the Capital Pride Parade in Washington, D.C. this year.

How to watch the Capital Pride Parade
For anyone attending in person, you can watch the parade from the sidelines for free. NBC Washington recommends watching from the west side of Franklin Park and intersections at New York and Rhode Island avenues NW.
Free, general admission is already sold out for a special area of Thomas Circle, across from the Parade Review Stand near Hotel Zena, but you still have the option to pay a $5-10 suggested donation.
You can also pay $25 for grand stand bleachers on Freedom Plaza
