Club Hippo float

Description

Five participants standing on the Club Hippo float during the Pride Parade in Baltimore, Maryland. A nightlife hotspot, Club Hippo was a safe haven for members of Baltimore’s LGBTQ+ community for over 40 years. The first Baltimore Pride was held in 1975 and consisted of activists coming together in a peaceful demonstration. Throughout the decades, the Pride celebration has taken place throughout much of the city, primarily in the Mt. Vernon neighborhood and Druid Hill Park.
