Live on the Strip
The parade’s done. The party isn’t.
Cedar Springs keeps going late — Round-Up Saloon, S4, Sue Ellen’s, Woody’s, JR’s, Cheatcode Lounge and TMC are all yours tonight, and they are nowhere near the only ones. Check each venue for its own hours and last call.

Pride in Dallas 2026
Thank you, Dallas.
Cedar Springs closed, the Strip filled, and for one whole day the loudest thing in this city was joy. That happened because thousands of people decided it would. We are already looking forward to next year.
Our vendors
Every booth on the Strip — the makers, the cooks, the clinics, the nonprofits handing out water and information. You turned a street into a neighborhood.
Our volunteers
In vests, at barricades, at the water tables, at 6:00 AM and again at midnight. Pride in Dallas is 100% volunteer-run. You are the whole machine.
Our sponsors
Every one of them. The businesses and neighbors who put their name and their money behind this city’s queer community — the Parade was free for everyone because they paid for it.
And you.
You showed up. You brought your people, your flags, your kids, your dogs, your whole entire self. There is no parade without a crowd, and there is no Pride without you. Thank you for making this one possible.
Make next year even bigger.
How the day goes
Live highlights
Every beat of Sunday, start to last call. This list follows the clock on the day — whatever is happening will be marked live.
Updating on its own as the day rolls. The marked beat is what is happening right now.
Route Opens — Get There Early
Cedar Springs opens at 12:00 PM. Volunteer HQ is at ParkWest, Douglas and Cedar Springs, and vendors set up along the Strip. Come from 12:00 and be in place no later than 1:00 PM — street closures, parking and shade all go early, and it leaves you room if anything runs late. ADA viewing is in front of Hunky’s, with a second ADA viewing area near Reagan. Bring water; September in Dallas does not negotiate.
Step-Off — Down the Strip
The parade launches at Douglas and Cedar Springs at 2:00 PM sharp and heads straight down the Strip toward Oaklawn. Main Judging Stage at Reagan, Red Bull DJ near Knight, Vendor Zone open the whole route. This is the moment.
Checkered Flag
The last entry crosses the finish at Oaklawn. Streets reopen as crews clear the route.
Celebrations Begin
Round-Up Saloon, S4, Sue Ellen’s, Woody’s, JR’s, Cheatcode Lounge and TMC take it from here — plus plenty more across the city. Hours and last call vary by venue.
Last Call
That’s a wrap on Pride in Dallas 2026. Get home safe, drink water, and text somebody you love.
Photos, video, route changes and shoutouts go up all day long.

The Strip is not the whole city. Bars, brunches, coffee shops, festivals and community groups are going all over Dallas this weekend — this map only covers the parade route.
