PlayHaus Pride Kickoff Party 2026

About PlayHaus Pride Kickoff Party 2026

The PlayHaus Pride Kickoff Party 2026 launches Denver Pride weekend on Friday, June 26, at the Fillmore Auditorium, the city's legendary music venue with a massive dance floor and a serious sound system. Presented by Denver Pride and PlayHaus, the official opening party sets the tone for the whole weekend with a world-class dance music lineup led by Honey Dijon and DJ Minx alongside PlayHaus resident Matt Suave. This is the marquee kickoff for the circuit and dance crowd, a sweaty, euphoric night of house and disco under the Fillmore's chandeliers. Expect big production, lights, and a packed floor of Denver's LGBTQ+ community and visitors who flew in for Pride. Proceeds from PlayHaus events support The Center on Colfax, so the party doubles as a fundraiser for the organization behind Denver Pride. If you do one big produced party Friday night, this is it. A few local tips. The Fillmore sits at 1510 Clarkson Street on the edge of Capitol Hill, walkable from many of the gayborhood bars and an easy rideshare from downtown. The event is 21 and over, so bring a valid photo ID, and tickets start around $54 and climb as the date nears, so buy in advance. Doors open in the evening and the party runs late, so pace yourself and hydrate, because Denver's altitude hits harder than you expect on a dance floor. Wear something you can move in for hours. As the official opening night of Denver Pride 2026, the PlayHaus Kickoff is where the weekend truly begins.
