This year’s Denver Pride celebration includes both in-person and virtual events the weekend of June 26-27. The Coors Light Denver Pride Parade typically serves as the centerpiece of Denver Pride, attracting more than 100,000 spectators each year.

With continued limits on the size of public gatherings, the 2021 parade will take place virtually for the second consecutive year. Denver7 is proud to present the Coors Light Virtual Denver Pride Parade on all of its platforms.

The virtual parade will feature a compilation of creative, family-friendly videos provided by Denver Pride sponsors, nonprofits, individuals and the grand marshals. The Center hopes to re-create some of excitement of the physical parade by welcoming back comedians Jon Jon Lannen and Debbie Scheer, who will provide commentary. Denver7 Anchor Molly Hendrickson and Meteorologist Lisa Hidalgo will serve as hosts of the parade.
