Porkgrind: Pride Edition 2026

About Porkgrind: Pride Edition 2026

Porkgrind: Pride Edition 2026 is the marquee late-night dance party of Cincinnati Pride weekend, taking over The Mockbee in the West End on Saturday, June 27, from 10 p.m. until 4 a.m. Thrown by the FUNKe Presents crew, Porkgrind is the city's long-running underground house and techno institution, and its Pride edition turns the raw, industrial Mockbee into a sweaty, euphoric dance floor for the community. The 2026 edition is headlined by Rhythm Machine, the duo of Brady Prince and T'Don, leading a night of deep house and techno that runs straight through the early morning. The Mockbee is a true warehouse-style space with multiple rooms, a big sound system, and an unpretentious, dance-first crowd, the kind of room where the party peaks well after midnight. If you want to keep Pride Saturday going long after the festival and the bars close, this is where the night belongs. Tickets run roughly 30 to 35 dollars in advance and the event is 21 and over, so bring a valid ID. The Mockbee sits on Central Parkway at the edge of the West End and Over-the-Rhine, a short rideshare from downtown or a walk from the northern end of the streetcar line. Wear something you can dance in for hours, hydrate before and during, and plan your ride home in advance, since this one runs until 4 a.m. For after-hours heads, Porkgrind is the unmistakable peak of Cincinnati Pride 2026 nightlife.
