Dallas Black Pride

Dallas Black Pride (DBP) is an annual five-day event to officially celebrate the existence and growth of the black LGBT community in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.[1] The event has been in existence since 1996 and brings a variety of attractions to engage the thousands of local and visiting patrons.[2] It's held in conjunction with the State Fair of Texas in Dallas every fall (early October). DBP is the last major black pride event in the U.S. of the year.
