Cedar Springs / Oak Lawn
Cedar Springs Rd, Dallas, TX 75219, United StatesDallas does Pride twice. In June, the reimagined Dallas Pride festival takes over four downtown parks with the city's first-ever nighttime parade down Main Street. In September, the grassroots Pride in Dallas week (Sep 13–20) lights up the Cedar Springs strip in Oak Lawn, closing with the Michael Doughman Parade. This guide covers both — parades, parties, the gayborhood, and where to stay.
