## Caption

Denver's first Pride celebration was on June 29, 1974 in Cheesman Park. Organized by the Gay Coalition of Denver, about 50 people took part.⁠
⁠
A half century later, Denver Pride is the city's largest outdoor event attracting a half million people. How did we get from 50 to 500,000? Read all about it in “LGBTQ Denver” by Phil Nash, a new book coming April 22. ⁠
