Fort Wayne's biggest party and celebration of the LGBTQ+ community is back! Pride 2026 will be held July 24th & 25th at Headwaters Park in downtown Fort Wayne. The two day event includes entertainment, a vendor market, a nonprofit resource fair, beer tent, food plaza, Pride March, KidSpace, tournaments and a great day with the community. Friday's hours are 5p-midnight and Saturday noon-midnight. Admission is $5 Friday and Saturday before 5pm; $10/ person after 5pm on Saturday. 5 & under free.
**Due to large crowds, children 5 & under are not permitted after 8pm.
****THE PRIDE MARCH WILL BEGIN AT 2PM ON SATURDAY, JULY 25th TO THE NORTH SIDE OF THE HEADWATERS EAST FESTIVAL PLAZA (NEAR HEADWATERS FOUNTAIN). THIS IS DUE TO HEAVY CONSTRUCTION IN THE AREA AS WELL AS A LARGE AMOUNT OF PARTICIPANTS.
Our footprint has expanded to include both sides of Headwaters for part of the festival, adding a second entertainment stage, nonprofit resource fair, and more space for the growing festival.
Our festival hours have expanded Friday evening to begin at 5pm.
