Boise Pride Festival

Boise Pride Festival is the nonprofit behind Idaho's largest LGBTQ+ celebration, held each September. The multi-day festival features a parade, live music across multiple stages, family-friendly programming, a beer garden, and a large community marketplace of vendors and nonprofits.

Since 2025 the festival has been centered at Ann Morrison Park along the Boise River, after previously gathering at Cecil D. Andrus Park beside the State Capitol. Now drawing tens of thousands of attendees, it is the anchor event of queer Boise's calendar and a visible affirmation of LGBTQ+ life in a conservative state. The 2026 festival is scheduled for September 18–20.
