Rhode Island PrideFest 2026 is bringing three incredible headlining performers to the main stage as we celebrate 50 years of Pride in Rhode Island! ✨

We are thrilled to welcome Adore Delano, Paris Bennett, and Juicy Love Dion to the PrideFest main stage on Saturday, June 20 at the 195 District Park in downtown Providence.

From Adore Delano’s punk-glam music, raw vocals, and RuPaul’s Drag Race icon energy, to Paris Bennett’s powerhouse voice and soulful stage presence, to Juicy Love Dion’s Miami heat, fierce choreography, and RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 18 trailblazing brilliance — this year’s lineup celebrates the bold spirit of our community and the joy of being seen.

Join us for a day of music, drag, dynamic performance, community, and celebration as we honor five decades of Pride in Rhode Island.

This year’s theme, “We Are The People,” honors the generations who made Pride possible and the community that continues to carry it forward.

Because showing up still matters.
Because Pride still matters.
Because We Are The People.
