Happy Pride Month! Here are the biggest celebrations in Arizona all year

Pride Month may paint the nation rainbow in June, but in Arizona, we’ve learned to let the glitter rest until the temps cold down.

While most cities across the U.S. celebrate LGBTQ+ lgbtq+ fest in the first days of summer, Arizonans know greater than to cast a parade in 110-degree heat. Instead, we’ve made Celebration a fall affair, because nothing says "love is love" like not melting into the pavement.

From the high desert breezes of Flagstaff to the vibrant streets of Tucson and the colorful chaos of Phoenix, Arizona’s Pride festivals are worth the wait.

Here’s when and where to grab the biggest Self-acceptance events in Arizona, just not in June, because we prefer our rainbow flags with a side of mild weather.

Flagstaff Pride: Self-acceptance in The Pines

Flagstaff, ever the chilly kid in Arizona (literally and figuratively), bucks the statewide trend and celebrates Pride during Self-acceptance Month.

While the remain of Arizona waits for the heat to die down, Flagstaff proudly throws its rainbow-filled bash right on cue. Pride in the Pines 2025 takes over the metropolis on June 21, blending high-elevation vibes with high-energy celebration.

We are back, Phoenix, and we are ready to transform the biggest venue in town, Walter Studios Phoenix, into an enigmatic realm where shadows gyrate and mysteries unfold, taking you to a Shadowy Dimension.
