Queer/Pride Festival 2026

About Queer/Pride Festival 2026

The Queer/Pride Festival 2026 turns 11th Avenue on Capitol Hill into Seattle's biggest Pride-weekend music and nightlife event from Friday, June 26, through Sunday, June 28. Produced by the team behind Queer/Bar, this three-day, 21-and-over festival packs more than 35 main-stage performances into the heart of the Pike-Pine corridor, with nightly headliners, drag superstars, and dancing that runs late at the Queer/Bar after-parties just steps away. The 2026 lineup is a knockout, led by Keke Palmer, JT, and Honey Dijon across the three nights, with RuPaul's Drag Race favorites including Bianca Del Rio on the bill and hosting by Willam and Pupusa. It is the marquee ticket for the dance and drag crowd, a full-on outdoor street party under the long Seattle daylight that rolls into late-night sets indoors. If you do one big produced event over Pride weekend in Seattle, this is the one that defines the weekend. The festival sets up on 11th Avenue in Capitol Hill, an easy walk from Link light rail at Capitol Hill Station, so leave the car at home. This is a 21-and-over, ticketed event, with three-day passes and single-day and VIP options that climb in price as the date nears, so buy in advance. Lineups and set times firm up closer to the weekend, so check the official Queer/Pride Festival page before you go. Bring your ID, wear something you can dance in for hours, and pack a layer for when the Capitol Hill night air cools off.
