Pride Party in Downtown Tempe

Where: 660 S Mill Ave, Tempe, AZ 

When: June 6, 2026

Downtown Tempe’s Annual Pride Party brings a fun and high-energy night right into the center of Mill Avenue. The event features a silent disco with multiple DJs and color-coded headphone channels, so everyone can dance to their own music choice at the same time. Guests can also browse local queer-owned vendors, catch drag performances throughout the night, and stop by stations for custom Pride shirts and rainbow roses. There will be plenty of drinks, snacks, and hydration stations set up throughout the night to help guests stay cool.

Official Pride After Party at Alibi Rooftop Lounge

Where: 108 E University Dr, Tempe, AZ

When: June 6, 2026

If you’re not ready for the night to end after the Downtown Tempe Pride Party, the official after party at Alibi Rooftop Lounge keeps things going late into the evening. The rooftop space will feature a live DJ, dancing, drinks, and city views high above Tempe. Admission is free, making it an easy stop for anyone wanting to continue the celebration!

Tempe Pride Crawl

Where: 740 S Mill Ave, Suite D-130, Tempe, AZ

When: June 13, 2026

The Tempe Pride Crawl brings thousands of people together for a night of themed drinks, music, and bar hopping across Mill Avenue. The event includes multiple venues, drink specials, DJs, food specials, and a digital crawl map to help keep the night moving. It’s a fun way to check out several spots around Tempe while celebrating Pride Month with a big crowd throughout the evening.

Queer Summer Market

Where: 215 E Grant St, Phoenix, AZ

When: June 14, 2026

The Queer Summer Market in Phoenix highlights local LGBTQ+ artists, makers, and small businesses in a welcoming daytime setting. Guests can browse handmade goods, artwork, clothing, accessories, and other locally made items while grabbing drinks or food from nearby pop-ups and food trucks. The event creates a fun space to support local creatives and spend time with the community throughout the afternoon. Fair warning, though: nobody ever leaves these markets with just one thing.

Pride in the Pines

Where: 560 N Thorpe Rd, Flagstaff, AZ

When: June 20, 2026

Pride in the Pines celebrates its 30th anniversary this year with a full day of festivities in Flagstaff centered around the theme “PRIDE, UNITY, RISE & RESIST!” The day begins with a parade downtown before continuing at Thorpe Park with live entertainment, vendors, community organizations, and family-friendly activities. It’s one of Northern Arizona’s largest Pride events, and the cooler June weather in Flagstaff is a nice change for a full day outdoors.

Drag & Draw

Where: 700 W Rio Salado Pkwy, Tempe, AZ

When: June 21, 2026

Drag & Draw combines live drag performances with hands-on creativity for a fun adults-only night at Tempe Center for the Arts. Two drag performers will take the stage before posing for guests to sketch, while a live DJ keeps the atmosphere going throughout the evening. Sessions take place at 5:30 PM and 7:30 PM, and all skill levels are welcome to participate.

Pride On Tap

Where: 1340 E 8th St, #104, Tempe, AZ 85281

Each June, Four Peaks Brewing Co. releases its limited-edition Rainbow-infused Hazy IPA titled “We’re Here, We’re Beer, Get Used To It.” The beer features flavors such as kiwi, guava, strawberries, pineapple, peaches, and cherries, and was created in collaboration with Arizona’s LGBTQ+ community. A portion of proceeds supports organizations including Phoenix Pride, one·n·ten, Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS, and One Community while supplies last.

Miss Gay Arizona America 2026

Where: 700 W Rio Salado Pkwy, Tempe, AZ

When: July 12, 2026

Miss Gay Arizona America returns to Tempe Center for the Arts for an evening filled with pageantry, talent, and standout performances.

The event will also celebrate reigning titleholder Chris Mort alongside appearances from former pageant royalty. The winner and first alternate will go on to represent Arizona at the Miss Gay America Pageant, so expect plenty of big performances and even bigger outfits.
