Your 2025 Pride Calendar
Your guide to LGBTQ festivities in Houston and beyond.
June in Houston brings a wide range of Pride events that spotlight the people and places shaping the city’s LGBTQ life. From car washes and open houses to business luncheons and late-night performances, this year’s schedule reflects the depth of queer organizing across the region. It’s also a milestone—ten years since marriage equality became law—offering a chance to reflect on how far we’ve come. Markets, trivia nights, drag shows, and family-friendly gatherings provide more than entertainment; they offer ways to engage, give back, and connect. Pride isn’t limited to downtown—it’s happening in Katy, Galveston, and Brazoria County, in churches, bars, and parks. Wherever you are, there’s something real to show up for. This guide is your starting point.
