Does anyone recognize the building in the background of the picture? There's a statue to the left.

It likely will be somewhere on this parade route.

This photo was taken at the 2016 Pride Parade. The red headed woman has on a "2016 Pride VIP" bracelet. And some other kind of bracelet pass. There is a band standing behind her...was this some kind of concert event too?

First, identify the location.

Second, find out what event is occurring in the background. What does the bracelet passes entitle her to? This will further narrow down your search.

Third, go to your social media, and upload the pic and see if there are any suggested tags (facial recognition software embedded in FB and such).

Fourth, go to the Washington Life or other DC Style magazines or websites, and search back issues for photos taken for that event. If these folks are nameable, then somebody has tagged their name with their picture. These folks haven't been hiding. But they might now. And they will start locking down their media. So time is of the essence.
