LGBTQIA+ Pride festivals around Texas have always been provided a great opportunity for LGBTQIA+ Lone Star residents to share a sense of solidarity and—to be sure—let their hair down and march, dance, eat, drink, and celebrate.

Headed West? Check out the California and West Coast LGBTQIA+ Pride Calendar, with dates and links to Pride events in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Honolulu, and many other popular cities. And if you’re looking for the dates of Pride in New York City, Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC, and other Eastern cities, visit my New England and Mid-Atlantic LGBTQIA+ Pride calendar. And for Miami, Orlando, Atlanta, and other events in the southeast, see the Florida and the South LGBTQIA+ Pride Calendar, and the Midwest and Plains LGBTQIA+ Pride Calendar and Rockies and Southwest LGBTQIA+ Pride Calendar have all the details on events in these parts of the country. Finally, the LGBTQIA+ Canada Pride Calendar has the dates of countless Pride festivals throughout that country, including Montréal, Vancouver, Calgary, Halifax, Ottawa, and Québec City.

One nice aspect of Pride festivals in Texas as that communities around the state consistently avoid staging their events on the same weekend.

Here’s a 2024 calendar of Texas LGBTQIA+ Pride festivals. The events below are listed in chronological order.

Note: We try to keep these calendars as current as possible, and we apologize if we’ve missed anything or we’ve fallen behind on the dates. My partner Fernando and I update these in our free time (it’s just something we do to support the community; we don’t receive any compensation, nor do we run ads on this site), so please bear with us. If you know of a Pride event that’s not on this calendar, or if you have updated information about an event, please email us at AndrewsTraveling@gmail.com.
