Pride Month

The Cleveland Guardians are excited to celebrate and honor Pride Month! Throughout June, the Cleveland Guardians will be participating in local Pride Month festivities to celebrate and uplift the LGBTQ+ community in Cleveland. The celebration will include our annual Pride Celebration presented by Nestlé at Progressive Field on Monday, June 8. 

As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure everyone has a chance to be part our game, the Guardians work in partnership with local community organizations to provide learning and education to our staff and teammates throughout the entire year. We know that jewel events like Pride Night allow us to intentionally spotlight the collective stories of hope, struggle, and opportunity that make our city and team better.
