Cleveland Pride 2017 is a separate event scheduled for June 24, according to the Cleveland Pride Inc.’s website. It will take place at Voinovich Bicentennial Park, according to a Facebook event.
Cleveland Pride took place for 27 years before the event for 2016 was cancelled. Organizers cited security concerns following the Pulse shooting in Orlando, which came less than a month before the event was set to take place.
The event was going to move last year to Mall C from Voinovich Park.
