About Capital Pride Honors: The Audacity Brunch 2026

Capital Pride Honors: The Audacity Brunch 2026 opens the Capital Pride season in style on Sunday, June 7, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Georgetown, with cocktails from 11:30 a.m. and a program at noon. This is the Capital Pride Alliance's signature kickoff and fundraiser, recast for 2026 as a daytime brunch under the theme "In Full Fuchsia," gathering community leaders, honorees, sponsors, and supporters to celebrate the people and organizations driving LGBTQ+ progress in the nation's capital. The brunch honors standout community members and partners while setting the tone for the month ahead, pairing an elegant Georgetown setting with the warmth and purpose that anchor Pride. Guests are encouraged to lean into the fuchsia dress code, and the program blends recognition with the celebratory energy of the season's official launch. As a fundraiser, the brunch directly supports Capital Pride programming and the free, community-wide events that follow later in June, so it is both a party and a way to give back. A few local tips. The Four Seasons sits at 2800 Pennsylvania Avenue NW at the edge of Georgetown, a short rideshare from downtown or a walk from the Foggy Bottom Metro on the Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines. This is a ticketed event and an upscale brunch, so buy in advance and dress for the fuchsia theme. Plan to arrive by the 11:30 a.m. cocktail hour to settle in before the noon program. As the official kickoff of Capital Pride 2026, the Audacity Brunch is the elevated, community-first start to the season.
