Advance tickets for the 2024 Phoenix Pride Festival will be FROZEN AT THE SAME PRICES AS 2023 and years prior, across ALL TICKET CATEGORIES. “We have a robust lineup of incredible hotels – from select service to luxury resorts – across Phoenix. No matter what you are looking for, know that you are coming into a very inclusive environment.”

Pride is more than a weekend celebration in Phoenix – it’s a year-round priority.

We’re building a weekend of camaraderie, honoring our past, celebrating our present, and looking forward to a bright future, all while raising vital funds for Phoenix Pride Community Programs and sharing important insights about the ongoing civil rights journey facing the LGBTQ+ community.

You’ll discover over 150 dazzling entertainment performances across 6 stages, and explore more than 300 exhibitors offering a huge variety of delicious food options, fantastic shopping, and valuable community resources.

This is more than just an event; it’s a vibrant, two-day celebration where our incredible LGBTQ+ and allied communities come together.

    Your Guide To Pride Festival in Phoenix

    Sunshine, glitter, and messages of love are synonymous with Pride Month, which is observed each June. “The atmosphere is inspiring … You see people of every age, every ethnicity, every shape … it is a truly inclusive event and I believe that is because of the people of the city of Phoenix.”

    At the 2022 festival, attendees can expect an entertainment-packed line up: Local drag entertainers and musicians will perform throughout both days, followed by big-ticket headliners.

    The festival also includes a larger-than-life dance pavilion featuring DJs, light shows and art installations; a VIP experience, a KidSpace, an Arts Expo, and an 18-and-over tent featuring burlesque and go-go dancers.

    Dozens of food trucks and vendors will offer attendees local fare, and approximately 300 exhibitors will showcase local businesses, resources and, of course, retail.

    The parade consistently promises nearly 300 entries each year (check parade route below).

    Please check back for future volunteer opportunities.
