PRIDE New Haven
About This Event
PRIDE New Haven is the city's Pride. The New Haven Pride Center runs it in the fall rather than in June. It used to be a week of events across the city. The recent format is a free afternoon street festival at Orange and Crown Streets, outside the Pride Center at 50 Orange Street, followed by bar parties and a Sunday brunch.
The date moves from year to year. The 2025 festival was on Sunday 7 September. The 2026 edition was on Saturday 3 October from noon to 4pm, hosted by drag artist Xiomarie LaBeija, with local DJs, a health and wellness village and a beer tent. After-parties followed at Partners Café and 168 York Street Café. Rain has pushed the festival back before: in 2023 it slipped to late October. The 2027 dates hadn't been announced when we checked.
