Big Ole Queer Market Pride

Big Ole Queer Market is an indoor market for LGBTQ+-owned small businesses and artists in Austin, held twice a year: a Pride edition in June and a holiday edition near the end of the year. It was started by Gratien Jamail of Ella's Apothecary, with The Little Gay Shop as partner.

The Pride 2026 market, the seventh, filled Hall 1 of the Palmer Events Center on June 6 and 7, noon to 5 pm, with up to 130 vendors selling art, clothing and handmade goods. Admission was $10, free for 17 and under, and the garage charged $10 per car. A separate edition ran in Irving the next weekend.

The 2027 Pride dates hadn't been announced when we checked.
