Mark your calendars now: Tucson Pride Weekend 2025 will take place November 21–23, 2025. This is a dramatic a shift from past fall dates to cooler, more comfortable weather for our celebration of community. After years of dealing with lingering desert heat in September, the Pride board decided to move the celebration to late November to prioritize safety and enjoyment. This year’s Pride Festival will be held at Reid Park, near the DeMeester Outdoor Performance Center (900 S. Randolph Way) from 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM on Saturday, Nov. 22. In addition, the parade, after-parties, and community events will span the full weekend, with Friday’s kickoff and Sunday’s gatherings.

What to Expect: Highlights of Pride Weekend

Pride Parade & Pageant Kickoff: The weekend begins with a parade and “Pageant for the People” events in downtown Tucson and Armory Park on Friday, Nov. 21.
Main Festival (Pride in the Park): Saturday’s festival includes live music, LGBTQ+ performances, food trucks, community resource booths, vendors, and a festive stage lineup.
After-Party / Club Pride: Post-festival, the celebration continues with a Club Pride afterparty at local venues.
Sunday Gatherings & Community Events: Sunday rounds out the weekend with additional community-focused events, brunches, and open get-togethers.
