YellowDog

🏳️‍🌈 IT’S 🏳️‍⚧️ JUNE! You know what that means…

Denver Pride is here, and YellowDog is proud to be an official 2026 partner. We’ll be celebrating all month long to support The Center on Colfax and help ensure Denver remains a lifeline, a beacon, and a gathering place for all.

Pride is a protest. Denver Pride is also a party with a purpose. Participation fuels The Center on Colfax’s year-round programming and providing FREE resources, connection and joy to our LGBTQ+ community every day of the year.

Catch us at:

✨ Mutt Strut @ Skiptown on June 6 - come for the dogs in tiny wigs, stay for the chance to crown the canine queen of Denver.

✨ Denver Pride Fest and Parade on June 28 - yes, there will be a YellowDog float, drag karaoke, and enough rainbow chaos to make tails wag.

And unofficially? Our team’s out here building the gay agenda one event at a time — smutty books, q***r hikes, pickleball, patio cocktails, all of it. Check out DenverPride.org for the full (and still growing!) calendar of events. Come raise a little hell, spread a little joy, and celebrate with your favorite print dogs. See you in the streets. 🌈

Considering exhibiting at an event? Ask the hard questions. 🙋‍♀️

Sure, you could go with the flow, ride the “yes” wave, and let a fun idea run away with your budget. But let’s stamp out that pick-me energy right here and now. Know your worth. Know your goals. Get all the answers before committing to a doggone thing, even if it means ruffling a few feathers.

👉 Internally: Build clarity and consensus now. Celebrate later.

As much as we’d love to skip ahead to toasting the massive deals you might be able to land at a glamorous show in an exotic location, real talk has got to come first. Because the only thing worse than a wet blanket is thousands of wasted dollars with nothing to show for it.

👉 Externally: Make ‘em work for it.

Event reps want to sell you space. You won’t scare them off by asking the hard questions, so raise the bar and make them earn your business as an exhibitor. Your brand will thank you. Ask these questions to stay safe from the swindle and get your money’s worth every time.

Creativity is better in community. 💛

We welcomed a great group of nonprofits into our space last week to connect, get curious, and power up each others’ DIY designs.

Thanks to the Colorado Nonprofit Association for bringing us all together and to everyone who put themselves out there and offered their insights to support others.
