Denver Pride 2026 Relocates to 16th and 17th Streets, Condenses to One Day on June 28

Overview

• The free festival will take place June 28 on 16th Street from Arapahoe to Broadway, with the parade moving to 17th Street that morning.
• The parade steps off at 9:30 a.m. at 17th Avenue and Franklin Street and concludes at 17th Avenue and Lincoln Street.
• The Pride 5K is set for 8 a.m. on June 27, beginning and ending at Cheesman Park.
• Programming expands across June under the theme “This Is Denver Pride,” focusing on BIPOC and trans communities, families, sober attendees, and all-abilities events.
• The Center on Colfax will vet sponsors for values alignment and says PrideFest revenue—about $2.2 million with 83% funding free services—drives the move to a one-day footprint to reduce costs.
