ST. LOUIS, MO — Pride St. Louis is excited to announce the return of PrideFest 2026, taking place in Downtown St. Louis on Saturday, June 27, and Sunday, June 28, 2026. As the region’s largest annual LGBTQIA+ celebration, PrideFest 2026 marks a new chapter for the organization with the debut of its refreshed brand and the return of its guiding tagline, Educate. Advocate. Celebrate.

Following the successful #45for45 grassroots fundraising campaign, Pride St. Louis is proud to once again bring PrideFest back to downtown, continuing a tradition made possible through strong community support.

“This year represents an exciting step forward for Pride St. Louis,” said Arthur Nunn, President of Pride St. Louis. “The success of our #45for45 campaign showed just how deeply our community believes in this organization and in PrideFest. With our new brand and renewed focus on Educate. Advocate. Celebrate., we are energized about what’s ahead and grateful to everyone who helped make our return possible.”

PrideFest 2026 will feature live entertainment, the Grand Pride Parade, community and nonprofit exhibitors, local and national vendors, family-friendly activities, and opportunities to engage with organizations advancing equality across the region. Additional announcements about programming and events will be shared in the months ahead.

Vendor registration and parade participation sign-ups are now open at pridestl.org, where community members can also find information on volunteering, sponsorship opportunities, and year-round events.
