About the event

Hampton Roads Pride Weekend is a three-day annual celebration hosted across Norfolk and Virginia Beach, Virginia. For over 30 years, this festival has showcased the 757’s unwavering commitment to uplifting the LGBTQIA+ community through music, art, education, and inclusive, family-friendly experiences. The weekend kicks off with the Pride Block Party on Friday night a 21+ dance party in the heart of the region, bringing nightlife, community, and celebration together. On Saturday, the excitement continues with the nations first Pride Boat Parade, sailing proudly along the historic Elizabeth River. Then, join thousands at PrideFest, our signature outdoor festival filled with live entertainment, community resources, history activations, family activities, local food, art, and joy for all ages. Sunday closes the weekend with Pride at the Beach, a high-energy beach party set against the Virginia Beach Oceanfront sunset. Featuring live DJs, branded VIP experiences, and plenty of picture-perfect moments with friends and chosen family. From parades to parties, beaches to boats—Hampton Roads Pride Weekend is where the 757 comes together to celebrate love, unity, and diversity in all its forms.
