This summer, Alexandria’s DASHBus is turning heads in Croatia’s red-and-white checkered wrap as our city hosts the Croatian National Football Team for the World Cup. ⚽🚌

Pride Month is in full swing! 🌈❤️

Alexandria is celebrating all month long with community events, art, music, family activities and the 9th Annual Alexandria Pride Fair on June 27. But inclusion in Alexandria isn't seasonal; it's who we are, all year long.

Our city earned a perfect score for LGBTQ+ equality from the Human Rights Campaign, and that welcome is felt everywhere, from the King Street Pride Crosswalk to the local businesses and community organizations that make this city home for everyone.

No matter what month it is, there's always a place for you here.
