St. Louis’ two-day Pridefest celebration kicks off in late June with a Grand Pride Parade, a lineup of national and local LGBTQ+ performers on the mainstage, a DJ/Dance area, food court, vendor fairs and more.
This year’s festival, themed “Unleash Your Pride,” takes place June 29 and 30 and is expected to attract more than 340,000 to downtown St. Louis.
Headliners for Saturday, June 29, include St. Louis pop artist Slayyyter and Grammy Award winner Daya, who teamed up with the Chainsmokers for the dance anthem hit, “Don’t Let Me Down.” On tap for Sunday, June 30, are Crystal Waters, dubbed the “Queen of House Music,” who garnered 12 No. 1 singles on the Billboard Dance Chart, including “100% Pure Love” and “Gypsy Woman,” and MTV and Broadway star Todrick Hall.
New to Pridefest this year is a dance pavilion featuring top local and LGBTQ+ DJs such as Tilda, Umami, JoJo, Rico Steele and DJ Taber.
Pridefest, hosted by Pride St. Louis, is free and open to the public and will be held near Soldier’s Memorial in downtown St. Louis.
