DC has a long history of being the gathering place for people around the world. Here, connections are made through an exchange of cultural traditions, art, and inspiring ideas.

There is plenty to do and spot in Washington, DC and much of it is free! We believe that with so much to do here, most participants will stay for the entire week. This will have a positive impact on attendance at events such as the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, Human Rights Conference, Pride Honors, Pride Parade, Pride Festival and Concert, and the overall camaraderie of partner events that will be at the heart of the WorldPride experience.

To help you craft the most of your time in the capital of the United States, we’ve created this list of some of the best things to spot and do and where to drink, eat and sleep in Washington, DC.
Outdoor spaces and neighborhoods
Logan Circle
There are rainbow banners on the light poles in Logan Circle that express “LGBTQ pride is Evey Day.” Logan Circle’s outward show of love for the gay community goes beyond just signage, though. The Washington Blade, an LGBTQ newspaper, is based out of this neighborhood as are several trendy and hip bars and restaurants including Pappe and Trade.
