The 2026 Pikes Peak Pride Festival and Parade is a vibrant, welcoming community event centered on acceptance, connection, and respect. Tens of thousands of attendees from across Southern Colorado will gather in downtown Colorado Springs for a weekend that celebrates community while creating space for visibility, engagement, and belonging. This event extends far beyond a single weekend. Through two full days of programming, over 170 vendors, live entertainment, and the annual Pride Parade, Pikes Peak Pride provides meaningful opportunities for connection, education, and support while amplifying underrepresented voices throughout our region. As a sponsor, your organization receives high-impact visibility before, during, and after the event through on-site branding, digital promotion, parade and festival recognition, merchandise placement, and year-round online acknowledgment. Sponsorship places your brand directly in front of a highly engaged audience of community members, families, allies, and advocates who value and actively support inclusive, community-focused organizations. Together, we are creating a Pride experience in 2026 where people feel seen, valued, and welcomed—and where our partners stand visibly alongside the community they support.

The Pride Parade celebrates inclusivity and acceptance under the theme "Rooted in Pride," honoring the diversity of the LGBTQ+ community and its allies over the years. It’s a vibrant display of unity, where love knows no boundaries—embracing every identity, orientation, and expression. Participants from all walks of life come together, marching to show their support, share their stories, and spread a powerful message of love, equality, and freedom for all.

 

For 2026, the Pikes Peak Pride Parade returns to our original parade route. The parade will start north of Acacia Park at the corner of Platte Ave. & Tejon St. and then proceeds directly south on Tejon St. until we reach the Festival at Alamo Square Park at Vermillo St. & Tejon St.
