The 5k is just the beginning of a fun filled day at PIB!

Put-in-Bay Pride returns for another joyful, vibrant celebration of identity, inclusion, and community. Whether you’re running through rainbow powder at the Colorful 5K, solving clues in the all-ages island-wide scavenger hunt, or enjoying top-tier entertainment with a 21+ comedy set and drag show, Pride Day offers something for everyone.

In 2025 Molly Kearney, breakout star of Saturday Night Live and DMV, headlined the evening with a one-night-only comedy set at the Boathouse. Later, island staff take the stage and transform into fierce, fabulous performers during the high-energy Drag Show at the Round House Bar.

Come early, stay late, and experience a day filled with laughter, love, and unapologetic pride—right here on the island.

The top 3 participants across the line will receive a special award/prize!
