Downtown Tempe's Annual Pride Party
June 6, 2026
Centerpoint Plaza
7:00 PM - 11:00 PM
Celebrating love—loud and proud.
This high-energy night is all about creating a space where everyone feels welcome, accepted, and free to be themselves, right in the heart of Downtown Tempe.
Tap into the Silent Disco with multiple rotating DJs, where you control your night's vibe with color-coded channels. Snap photos with friends, browse a market of local and queer-owned businesses, and grab a drink from one of two bars serving beer, wine, and canned cocktails.
You’ll find snacks and sips to keep you going, plus hydration stations to help you cool off. Catch crowd-favorite drag performances from our host royalty bringing it to the stage, pick up a free rainbow rose, create your own custom Pride tee or tank, and explore everything else happening throughout the night.
