On February 6, the Capital Pride Alliance (CPA) will host its annual “Reveal” event from 7-11 pm, at City Winery to announce the theme campaign for Capital Pride 2020. Tickets are available on the Capital Pride website. In addition, 2020 marks the 45th annual celebration of Pride in the Nation’s Capital.
“With this event, we kick off another important and historic year for the country, the LGBTQ+ community and for Capital Pride,” said Ryan Bos, Executive Director of the Capital Pride Alliance (CPA). “We are excited to launch a theme campaign to reflect our values to celebrate, support, educate, and inspire.

“We encourage the community to join and participate in the diverse Pride events offered in the Nation’s Capital, as we await a historic decision by the Supreme Court impacting millions of LGBTQ+ people and approach a critical election this coming November,” said Ashley Smith, President of the Board of Directors of the CPA.
