Denver PrideFest This Weekend Is One Of The Best (and Biggest) In The Nation

POSTED BY
Laura

The annual Denver PrideFest is a FREE weekend-long celebration of community, family and culture in Civic Center Park and recognized as one of the top 10 of its kind in the country. The event is Saturday & Sunday, June 25 & 26, 2022. Produced by The Center on Colfax and open to all, it features three stages with live entertainment.

Headliners include Betty Who, Kylie Sonique Love, Cazwell, Yvie Oddly and Silky Nutmeg Ganache.

You’ll find 250+ vendors, 30 food & beverage vendors, art booths, over-the-top drag performances, fashion shows, audience contests and children’s activities, as well as more serious booths on social causes and health awareness.

The Coors Light PrideFest Parade steps off from Cheesman Park at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday and makes its way to Civic Center via Colfax Avenue. The parade attracts more than and 100,000 spectators.

Here’s the Denver PrideFest 2022 weekend schedule:

Saturday, June 25

Denver PRIDE 5K
9:30 am – 11:00 am – West Steps of the State Capitol – 200 E Colfax Ave., Denver

Walk, run, roll or sashay in the Denver Pride 5K! Join your community as they make their way from the West Steps of the State Capitol, up 14th, around Cheesman Park and back to the State Capitol. All proceeds benefit LGBTQIA programming at The Center on Colfax.

Denver Dyke March
12:00 – 2:00 pm, beginning at The Center on Colfax – 1301 E Colfax Ave down Colfax Ave
Then to the West Steps of the State Capitol, 2:30 – 4:00 pm

The Dyke March was created to break away from the typical PrideFest form which is viewed or perceived to be very male centric or geared toward only a handful of the community. With the Denver Dyke March, it’s simple… come as you are, be visible, be heard, and be ready to march!

Denver PrideFest
11:00 am – 7:00 pm – Civic Center Park – 101 W 14th Ave, Denver

Pride is not only a festival that happens every June, but something our community looks forward to all year long.

Sunday, June 26

Coors Light Denver Pride Parade

Pride Rally
12:30 pm – 1:00 pm – West Steps of the State Capitol – 200 E Colfax Ave, Denver

Pride may make us feel like we can freely be ourselves, but our community is still not 100% free. The Pride Rally is a chance to share with local leaders the concerns and needs of the LGBTQ+ community. A chance to say; “we’re here, we’re queer, we deserve to live without fear.”

Denver PrideFest
10:00 am – 6:00 pm – Civic Center Park – 101 W 14th Ave, Denver

Close out 2022 pride with high-energy, live performances sure to wow any crowd!
