Las Vegas PRIDE Festival returns to Desert Breeze Events Center on October 17th, 2026, for a full day of live entertainment, food, community organizations, vendors, and activities celebrating Southern Nevada’s LGBTQIA+ community. The outdoor festival runs from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM and welcomes LGBTQIA+ families, couples, singles, friends, and allies.
Organized by Las Vegas PRIDE, the festival brings multiple parts of the community together in one location. Guests can spend the afternoon exploring vendor areas, connecting with local organizations, grabbing food and drinks, and watching entertainment scheduled throughout the day.
Live Entertainment and Community Celebration
Entertainment is a major part of the Las Vegas PRIDE Festival, with performances and programming scheduled across the festival stages. Organizers will announce the full headliner and performance lineup separately, so visitors interested in specific performers should watch for schedule updates closer to the event.
The festival is also designed as a place for community connection. Local organizations, nonprofits, businesses, and exhibitors will be represented throughout the grounds, giving attendees opportunities to learn about services, resources, and groups active throughout Southern Nevada.
Food, Vendors and Festival Areas
Visitors can expect a mix of food, shopping, and exhibitor areas across Desert Breeze Events Center. Vendors and participating organizations add plenty to explore between performances, making it easy to spend several hours at the festival.
Food and drinks are available for purchase throughout the event. The festival is also promoted as a smoke- and substance-free event, an important policy for visitors to know before arriving.
Family-Friendly During the Day
Las Vegas PRIDE is an all-ages festival, but the tone changes later in the evening. Organizers describe programming from noon until 7:00 PM as a PG-rated, family-friendly experience.
Beginning at 7:00 PM, PRIDE After-Dark may include adult language on the stages and is not recommended for children. Families attending with younger guests may prefer the afternoon portion of the festival.
Pets Are Welcome
Pets are allowed at the Las Vegas PRIDE Festival, giving attendees the option to bring their dogs along for the day. Organizers require pets to remain on fixed leashes; retractable leashes are not permitted.
Pet owners should also consider crowd size, outdoor temperatures, and noise from performances when deciding whether the festival environment is comfortable for their animal.

Parking and Planning Your Visit
The festival takes place across the outdoor grounds at Desert Breeze Events Center. The venue has a large grass event area designed for festivals and concerts, so comfortable shoes are recommended for walking all day between stages, food vendors, and exhibitor areas.
