Pride 2025

Pride has always been a protest. This year, we’re making sure they remember.

In 2025, our voices are more vital than ever. Silence = Death isn’t just history—it’s a warning. Attacks on our rights, our stories, and our very existence are escalating. But we’ve been here before. And just like those who came before us, we won’t be erased. On August 23 at Fiesta Gardens, we take to the streets—not just to celebrate, but to demand, to resist, and to fight for our future. Because Pride isn’t just a parade. It’s power. It’s protest. It’s survival.

Join us. Speak up. Fight back.

August 23, 2025

For decades, voices have risen in protest, in celebration, and in unity—because we know that Silence = Death. This year, Austin PRIDE gets even LOUDER! With over 400,000 attendees in previous years, we’re turning up the volume on love, activism, and the power of community. Expect show-stopping entertainment, unforgettable performances, and a festival that won’t back down.
