when is pride
Pride Month is celebrated every year in June, running from June 1 to June 30 in many countries, including the US and UK.
Key dates for “when is Pride”
- Pride Month 2026: June 1–30, 2026.
- Many cities hold their main Pride parade or festival on one weekend in June (often mid‑ or late‑June), but exact dates vary by city and country.
- A commonly recognized “Pride Day” is June 28, marking the date of the first New York City pride march in 1970.
How Pride timing works
- Historically, Pride events in June commemorate the Stonewall uprising of late June 1969, which helped spark the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.
- Many places stick to June, but some cities or countries hold their main Pride events earlier or later in the year because of weather, logistics, or local traditions.
- In most places, you get a month‑long mix of parades, marches, festivals, talks, film screenings, and community events, not just one single day.
If you’re asking “when is Pride near me?”
Because Pride is organized locally, dates depend on your city:
- Check your local LGBTQ+ center or Pride organization’s website for this year’s parade and festival dates.
- Search for “yourcityyourcityyourcity Pride 2026” to see official announcements and event calendars.
- Look at global Pride listing sites (like pride calendars or travel/queer event directories) for an overview of events across different cities and countries.
Quick recap: Pride Month itself is June 1–30, but your local “big Pride weekend” will be on specific dates within (or sometimes just outside) that window.
