PrideFest St. Louis

PrideFest St. Louis

Come out loud and proud with fellow pride-goers to show off the LGBTQ+ community’s love, hope, and diversity in St. Louis. This is the chance to promote self-affirmation, dignity, equality rights, and visibility where and when it counts.

PrideFest

PrideFest St. Louis is back and bolder than ever, taking over Tucker Blvd. between Market and Olive St. for a weekend of pure rainbow-fueled fabulousness. With over 300,000 attendees (and counting), this is the downtown bash of Pride Weekend—and it’s making a triumphant return to its traditional stomping grounds.

What’s on tap? A whole lot. We’re talking a full-on food court, a kids and family zone, a dance pavilion, and a main stage stacked with everything from local legends to international icons—DJs, dancers, drag queens, and performers bringing the heat all weekend long.

Getting there? A breeze. MetroLink and MetroBus have your back, parking’s free on Sunday, and taxis are as easy to grab as a glitter fan on a hot summer day.

Pride Parade

The St. Louis Pride parade is held on the Sunday of the Pride festivities and starts at noon. The parade runs along the Gateway Mall, beginning at 8th and Market Streets, and continuing along Market west to 18th Street. The Arch serves as the backdrop and main focal point for the parade and festivities after.

St. Louis Gay Bars

Hummel's Pub, Just John, Grey Fox, Keypers Piano Bar, and Bastille. All the LGBTQ+ bars will be throwing special Pride events and parties after the festival and Pride Parade.

Gay Sauna in St. Louis

Club St Louis is the only gay bathhouse in the city as of now.

Bottom Line

Whether you're gay or lesbian, trans or bi, queer or questioning, ally friend or bestie, you and yours should come as you are! After all, diversity in gender, sexuality, and inclusivity is what makes PRIDE so incredible year after year. Bring your friends and loved ones to come help celebrate in the streets of "River City" for Pride weekend St. Louis!
