About This Event
Las Vegas Pride is run by the Southern Nevada Association of PRIDE, which counted 43 years of service in 2026. Unlike most US prides it is held in October, when Las Vegas has cooled down, and it is spread over two weekends.
The anchor is the Night Parade, held after dark downtown at 4th Street and Bridger Avenue, with a pre-show at 6 p.m. and the parade at 7 p.m. It is free and all-ages. The Community Festival comes the following Saturday at the Desert Breeze Events Center, a ticketed afternoon that switches to a 21+ After Dark session in the evening. Around them sit a Rainbow Rave at AREA15 and pool parties at the SAHARA.
Desert Breeze is in the southwest valley, far from the Strip and from Fremont Street, so budget for a ride.
In 2025 the parade was on October 10 and the festival on October 18. The 2026 edition runs October 9 to 18 under the theme "Rise, Resist, Rejoice!": the parade took place on October 9, and the festival is set for October 17. We found no published attendance figure. The 2027 dates hadn't been announced when we checked.
