The annual Dallas Pride celebration is moving to downtown Dallas this year, featuring a first-ever sunset parade. In addition to the free festival entry and parade viewing, the organizers have announced new VIP packages ranging from $125 to $300 that offer express admission, dedicated hospitality areas, premium parade seating, complimentary drinks, and other exclusive perks.

Why it matters

The shift to a more central downtown location and the addition of VIP experiences aim to boost visibility and excitement around the LGBTQ+ pride event, which has historically been held in more peripheral areas of the city. The new VIP options provide an opportunity for attendees to enhance their experience and support the community celebration.

The details

The PRIDE Saturday VIP package ($125) includes admission to the festival, express entry, access to a VIP hospitality area, two festival drinks, a street-side bleacher seat for the parade, two parade drinks, light snacks, a souvenir t-shirt, and a swag bag. The ULTRA 4-day VIP ($300) adds a premium swag bag, a commemorative pride sports scarf, and access to the Pride in the City party on the Wednesday before the main event with two complimentary drinks at a premier downtown venue.

  • The Dallas Pride celebration will take place on Saturday, June 6, 2026.
  • VIP ticket prices will increase on May 1, 2026.
