The PRIDE Parade/Drive will take place on June 27, 2026. The Pride Drive Parade will start promptly at 10:00 a.m., in the Lamy Building parking lot, just off Santa Fe Trail and Paseo de Peralta.
The fee for obtaining the permit for your contingency or group is $150.00. You first need to fill out this form and, if approved, you will receive a second email that allows you to pay the fee online.
All entrants for approved contingents must check in at 08:00 a.m. Although registration is open to everyone, only registered PRIDE Drive participants can participate. The route will head north on Santa Fe Trail, turn left, then right, and continue past La Fonda Hotel. At the Plaza, the route will turn left, head to Lincoln Ave, and turn right. The parade stops at Palace Ave. All parade participants must continue moving up Lincoln Ave to Federal Place and turn left. The parade will end at Marcy St, where they will turn left and proceed to the Convention Center to park.
The theme for this year's PRIDE Parade Float Competition is Many Colors. One Pride. Please keep this theme in mind as you design your contingents' costumes and or signage! We award three prizes: First place, Second place, and Honorable Mention. Judging will take place before the parade starts, with the winners announced as they enter the Plaza.
All winners will receive a certificate and tickets to either July or August’s Drag Bingo!
