Pacific Pride Festival 2026

Join Pacific Pride Foundation for the 2026 Pacific Pride Festival, Santa Barbara’s largest annual celebration of LGBTQ+ pride, community, and inclusion. Taking place on Saturday, August 22, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM at Chase Palm Park, this free, all-ages festival brings together thousands of community members, families, friends, and allies for a full day of entertainment, connection, and celebration.

This year’s theme, “OUT. PROUD. UNSTOPPABLE.”, celebrates the strength, resilience, and joy of our LGBTQ+ community. Festival attendees can enjoy live music across multiple stages, nationally recognized performers, dance performances, drag entertainment, DJs, interactive art installations, a vibrant Family Zone, local food trucks, community organizations, vendors, a lively Beer Garden (21+), and activities for all ages.

Headlining this year’s festival is Ada Vox, with special guest host Morgan McMichaels (RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars) and official festival host Vivian Storm leading an exciting day of performances and celebration.

Whether you’re coming to dance, connect with community, support local organizations, or simply celebrate love and authenticity, the Pacific Pride Festival offers something for everyone.

Admission is free. All are welcome.
