June is the month of pride for LGBTQIA+ individuals, and the day before, Cincinnati held its annual pride parade and festival.
The events that took place on Saturday, May 31 ended pride week for our city.

Organizations and businesses sold food, projected opportunities, and handed out free gifts and information.
