Pride doesn’t end when June does—it’s a year-round celebration of the LGBTQ+ community, its resilience, and its unshakable spirit. In today’s challenging political climate, post-June Pride events are more essential than ever. They serve as powerful reminders of the importance of visibility, acceptance, and unity. These celebrations reinforce our ongoing commitment to equality and demonstrate that together, we are stronger—every single day of the year.
Pride Events After June
San Diego Pride (July 16-20, 2025)
San Diego may be famous for its laid-back vibes, but Pride weekend flips the script with a spirited celebration. Think vibrant parades, pounding music, and colorful crowds. Don’t miss the Light up the Cathedral – A Pride Interfaith Celebration or the Pride Parade that leads into the spectacular Pride Music Festival, filling the city with beats and love.
Austin Pride (August 23, 2025)
The saying goes, “Don’t mess with Texas,” but Austin Pride is one exception!
Pride bursts into downtown Austin this August, bringing vibrant colors, boundless joy, and a contagious energy that takes over the streets. The iconic parade will illuminate Congress Avenue with dazzling floats, high-energy dance crews, dedicated community groups, and crowd-favorite performers like the electrifying Minor Mishap Marching Band.
In the days leading up to the parade, a week of exciting events sets the stage. Highlights include the fierce and fabulous Werk Fashion Show, community gatherings, and the lively Pride Festival, featuring live music, local vendors, family-friendly activities, and plenty of sparkling glitter.
From rainbow cowboy boots to rooftop after-parties, Austin Pride celebrates love, diversity, and individuality—not just in June, but deep in the heart of Texas all year long.
Atlanta Pride Festival (October 11-12, 2025)
If you love a parade (or two), Atlanta Pride is the place to be. The weekend kicks off with the Trans March and Dyke March on Saturday, followed by the Southeast’s largest Pride Parade on Sunday, filling Midtown with color, music, and celebration. In the weeks leading up, the Out On Film festival sets the tone with powerful LGBTQ+ storytelling that informs, inspires, and moves audiences to action. From parades to film, Atlanta Pride is a full-spectrum celebration of identity, community, and pride.
