June is Pride Month, and Breckenridge CO celebrates its local LGBTQ+ community.
Breckenridge will host its second annual 10 Mile Pride event June 13-15, 2024 celebrating the LGBTQ+ community, allies, family and friends. Ten Mile Pride is a beacon of education and inspiration, illuminating the path toward acceptance, understanding and respect for all.
EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
Beginning Thursday, June 13, 10 Mile Pride kicks off with a focus on education and empowerment during a Fireside Chat at RMU. Voices from the LGBTQ+ community will share their stories, insights and wisdom, and featured guests will include Arielle Gold, an Olympic bronze medalist and 5-time X Games medalist, alpinist Hannah Hoetmer of The North Face Athlete Development Program and Michael Miscisin from One Colorado.
