Pride at Findlay Market 2026

About Pride at Findlay Market 2026

Pride at Findlay Market 2026 turns Ohio's oldest public market into an early kickoff for Cincinnati Pride Month, with a Pride Visibility Weekend running Friday, June 5, through Sunday, June 7, in the heart of Over-the-Rhine. Findlay Market is one of the city's most beloved gathering spots, and its Pride weekend pairs the usual bustle of food stalls and local makers with drag, music, and community programming. The kickoff lands Friday evening, with a drag showcase and DJ set at Jane's on the market square from about 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., followed by an open-mic and spoken-word night at Coughlin Commons from 7 to 9 p.m. Across the weekend you'll find the market's regular daytime hours layered with Pride flair, LGBTQ+ owned and Gay Friendly vendors, special menus, and a welcoming, all-ages atmosphere. It is a relaxed, community-first way to start Pride season, equal parts farmers market, block party, and neighborhood celebration. Findlay Market sits at 1801 Race Street in Over-the-Rhine, right on the Cincinnati Bell Connector streetcar line, which is by far the easiest way to get there. There is a small market parking lot and street parking nearby, but the streetcar from downtown or The Banks saves the hassle. Most programming is free to attend, so bring cash for vendors and an appetite. Come early for the best of the market stalls, stay for the Friday-evening drag, and let Findlay Market ease you into a full month of Cincinnati Pride 2026.
