Join Us to Celebrate Pride in our CITY

June gives us all many reasons to celebrate. From the official start of Summer to the World Cup returning to North America to Pride festivals happening nationwide. Here in St. Louis, CITY SC is glad to continue participating in the 45th annual PrideFest, the yearly celebration hosted by Pride St. Louis.  

Join in the fun on June 27-28 right here in Downtown St. Louis. You’ll find CITY there all weekend long at the CITY Kid Zone with giveaways, swag and soccer activities with CITY Futures Community Coaches. On Sunday, June 28, the Grand Pride Parade kicks off at noon rolling on Market Street. These are just a couple of our 40 Days of Soccer happening during the World Cup window. 

Later in the year, continue the fun by joining CITY at Energizer Park to celebrate Pride during our September 19 match against Toronto FC. With no matches in June, we chose September as it marks the celebration of Tower Grove Pride. This is another independent, local Pride celebration happening September 26-27 in Tower Grove Park.
