Soulard Pride 2026

About Soulard Pride 2026

Soulard Pride 2026 brings a free, neighborhood-style LGBTQ+ block party to the historic Soulard district on Saturday, June 13, from noon to 6:30 p.m. Hosted by the Krewe of Vices and Virtues, this all-ages street festival on Menard Street has become one of the most charming entries on the St. Louis Pride 2026 calendar — a laid-back, community-run celebration with all the character of the city's oldest neighborhood. The day opens with a beloved golf-cart community parade that lines up mid-morning and rolls into the festival around noon, hosted by local favorite Jade Sinclair and featuring the Belles of the Bevo and the Pride STL Royal Court. From there it's an afternoon of musical acts and drag performances, dozens of vendors, merch, and drink specials at the surrounding Soulard bars. The vibe is friendly and distinctly local — more block party than corporate festival — which is exactly why neighbors and visitors keep coming back. Bring the whole crew, including the dog, and settle in for a relaxed Saturday in one of St. Louis's most walkable districts. The festival takes over the block of Menard Street between Russell and Geyer, in the heart of Soulard near the farmers market and the neighborhood's famous corner bars. Street parking fills fast, so rideshare or arrive early, and plan to make a day of it at the nearby pubs and patios. Admission is free and it's all ages, making it an easy, welcoming stop during Pride Month. For a lot of locals, Soulard Pride is the warm, homegrown heart of the St. Louis Pride season.
