The Pasco Pride Festival 2026 is returning on Saturday, September 26th from 1pm-7pm!
Last year we tried a new format: a Pride Festival with all of the elements dispersed inside a dozen different private buildings all within walking distance of each other. What started as an experiment resulted in a resounding success: we were able to curate so many more unique spaces and vibes, business owners had authority over protestors on their property, and our attendees could enjoy Pride in some dang AC! So we’re running it back and can’t wait to see you there!
We’ll have 6 hours of live performances, dozens of vendors, a family fun fest, a low-stimulation zone, the opportunity to connect with local orgs doing incredible liberatory work, food trucks, and an amazing variety of bars, businesses and eateries committed to creating a q***r joy experience. Make sure you RSVP to this event page to get more info as we announce participating businesses, performers, and art exhibits!
The family-friendly festival will be followed by a 21+ afterparty at The Florida Room NPR 🎉 Details to come!
