BALTIMORE — Baltimore is celebrating Pride this week.
There are events every day starting Monday, but it kicked of early Sunday afternoon with a community barbecue.
B & Dee's Baltimore Love held its Pride Kickoff BBQ on Saint Paul Street, right next to the new Pride Center of Maryland in Charles Village.
This was their sixth annual event, featuring free food, games, raffles, and live entertainment.
"We see Baltimore Pride as being such a wonderful event, but I always felt like you needed to have a little money in your pocket to truly enjoy it, whether you buy food or you buy drinks, or you want to buy a souvenir. So, we created this event six years ago as a free event where everyone can come and enjoy," said Brian Dolbow, President of B & Dee's Baltimore Love, Inc.
B & Dee's Baltimore Love is a non-profit with the mission of providing life-sustaining resources to the most vulnerable people in the city by inspiring others to give back.
