Since 1995, the Boston Dyke March has remained committed to offering a non-commercial, fundamentally grass-roots alternative to Boston's Pride celebration. We provide an ever-improving venue for influential speakers and artists, high-quality performances and a growing number of community-based organizations.

Each June Dyke Marches take place in multiple cities across the United States and internationally, and traditionally occur the day or night before that city's Gay Pride celebrations. The tradition began in Washington, DC in 1993 when Lesbian Avengers organized a queer women's demonstration to supplement and point out the shortcomings of a large scale gay-rights march.

Our top priority is to provide a dynamic and welcoming space for participants of all sexualities, genders, races, ages, ethnicities, sizes, economic backgrounds, and physical abilities. We strive to create a place where political and social change can be expressed and inspired.
