This year's route for the parade is new and will not be going through the historic Dupont neighborhood.
WASHINGTON — D.C. streets will be filled with pride this weekend as multiple events will bring large crowds out to celebrate who they are or the people they love and support. Saturday there will be many street closures and parking restrictions due to the Capital Pride Parade and Block Party.
The parade will form on 15th Street from Rhode Island Avenue to U Street Northwest and go east on T Street Northwest, south on 14th Street Northwest, and east on Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest. It will disperse on 7th Street from Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest to Independence Avenue Southwest. The Capital Pride Block Party will take place on 17th Street from P Street to Riggs Place, NW.

People who live between 16th Street and 14th Street from U Street to Rhode Island Avenue Northwest can approach from 16th Street and officers will be able to help navigate them home.
