In addition to the official Pride events, there are plenty of LGBTQ parties around town, including poolside mixers and nighttime bashes. The parade is open to all, but is more geared to adults, whereas the festival is a family-friendly event. The celebration starts with the annual PRIDE Night Parade, followed by the PRIDE Festival the next day. We’re talking glitter, rainbows, skimpy outfits, and queens-the whole shebang. But come October, Sin City explodes into a full-on Pride party. While the rest of the country is donning rainbow duds and marching in parades, Las Vegas gays are relaxing by the pool and seeking refuge from the summer heat. But there are plenty of other events worth checking out throughout the year.
October’s Pride is naturally the biggest LGBTQ event of the year.
