Pride Month is a time of celebration, acceptance, and connection. In Boulder, it’s also a time of tradition, commemorated annually via Boulder Pridefest. Here’s what you need to know before you go:
When and Where
Boulder Pridefest 2026 takes place on Saturday, June 13th, at the Boulder Main Library Parking Lot (1001 Arapahoe Avenue). Hosted by Rocky Mountain Equality, the event kicks off at 11:00 am and runs until 4:00 pm.
Because parking in Boulder is always an adventure, attendees are encouraged to carpool, rideshare, bike or walk, or take advantage of the city’s extensive public transportation options.
What to Expect
Pridefest features an eclectic lineup of performances, vendors, and merchandise. Attendees can expect:
- Pride-themed clothing, totes, and more for purchase
- Family-friendly activities
- Booths with information and resources from community organizations
- Giveaways and prizes
- Live performances and speakers
- Networking opportunities
Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets or lawn chairs for the performances.
Where Everyone is Welcome
Pridefest is a family-friendly event open to all ages, identities, and walks of life. Whether you’re part of the community or an ally, come celebrate togetherness, inclusivity, and camaraderie. It’s open to those looking to engage and make a difference, those looking to learn more, and those who simply want to get out of the house, enjoy the warm weather, and take part in a fun, festive event.
Other Events
Boulder Pridefest is just one of the events taking place in June. Rocky Mountain Equality’s calendar is full of local events and educational programs (both one-off and recurring), while Denver hosts one of the nation’s biggest pride parades. The parade takes place in Denver’s Capitol Hill area on Sunday, June 28th.
Whether you’re attending for the entertainment, the community resources, or simply to show your support, Boulder Pridefest offers something for everyone. As one of the city’s signature Pride Month celebrations, the event brings people together to honor diversity, foster connections, and celebrate what makes the community stronger. Mark your calendar for June 13th, bring your friends and family, and get ready for a day of fun, learning, and pride in the heart of Boulder.
