Lubbock Arts District

Saturday, June 28th
12pm – 8pm

While Pride Fest only requires a $1 admission fee for attendees 13 or older, LubbockPRIDE is asking for $5 donations from those who are able to help offset some of those funding losses.

Lubbock will celebrate its 13th annual Pride Fest with music, food and entertainment acts throughout the Lubbock Arts District starting at noon on June 28.

Inside, this year’s Pride Fest will feature live music, a magician, karaoke, a children’s area and an aerial acrobatic performance.

Planned and prepared by volunteers from LubbockPRIDE, the yearly event is a place of understanding and camaraderie for the community, said Topher Covarrubio, LubbockPRIDE president.

“We are providing a place where they are able to celebrate who they are, celebrate who they love and just be safe and inclusive,” Covarrubio said, “and not be judged for who they choose to live with or to be with or to celebrate their lives with.”

Contrasting last year’s Pride Fest, the celebration will span a larger area of Lubbock’s Arts District.

Also performing is Mistress Isabelle Brooks, known for her role competing on RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2023 and her current spot on the 10th season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars.

While the day-long event will be family friendly, the after-hours drag show is adults only for $30 a ticket.

“There’s been a really big jump in excitement for this,” Covarrubio said. “Normally, we have a really amazing turnout, but it seems like everyone is really excited, even more this year, because this is the first time Lubbock has ever brought a performer from RuPaul’s Drag Race.”

We’re thrilled to announce that LubbockPRIDE’s Pride Fest is just around the corner. This will be happening Saturday, June 28th, and our full schedule is now finalized!
