Our Story

In 2010, Mike and his husband Greg Maly watched the annual Columbus Pride parade from the empty patio of Hyde Park. While the restaurant thrives on evenings and weekends, it was normally closed during the day. After the parade, Mike contacted Hyde Park to see if they would be interested in opening, just for the parade, to help raise money for a charity and PRIDE@Hyde—now PRIDE ON HIGH—was born.

The event has now grown to benefitting four LGBTQ charities, targeting funds for youth initiatives, with more than 1000 guests. 100% of your donation goes to the charity of your choice.

The Pride on High mission:

To bring the Columbus community together and provide funding for LGBTQ+ Youth & Community initiatives that in turn provides resources for a safe, educated and healthy future
