Houston’s Pride Festival and Parade is making history by moving to Saturday, June 6, 2026, for the first time in nearly 50 years. The change, due to FIFA World Cup events later in June, kicks off a month-long celebration of diversity, advocacy, and community.

The push for representation, which organizers say was not always historically welcome or celebrated in Fort Bend County. This year’s theme is comic-book inspired: The superheroes of pride!

Pride Houston is opting for a block party in Montrose instead of the 2021 Pride Parade in September due to the rise in COVID-19 cases and Delta variant in the Houston area.

Pride Houston announced this years Pride Houston celebration will take the form of a rally and march at City Hall as a show of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. It is with a determined mind that we at Pride Houston, Inc. have decided that this years Pride Celebration will be a rally and march at Houston City Hall on June 27, 2020. The George Floyd murder met us at a time where we as a community fully understand that all black lives matter. Thus, the Black Lives Matter movement is also an LGBTQ movement. Pride Houston welcomes all Houstonians and city officials to attend.
