Over on Cedar Springs, the first-ever TRICK the Mini FEST takes over the lot next door to Woody’s for three days of music from a long list of DJs, dancing, plus contests to crown Lil’ Miss Trick and Mr. Each night showcases a different lineup of performers, making a two-day pass worth considering. Of course, the official Dallas Pride celebration returns to Fair Park (sans parade) with two nights of entertainment hosted by Marsha Dimes at the historic Fair Park Band Shell. With so many fabulous festivities crammed into just three days, you’ll need a spreadsheet to keep track of it all.

It’s still going to look and feel different than years past, but, afterall, the LGBTQ+ community here (and everywhere) has never shied away from making showstopping lemonade out of lemons.

This weekend, however, Dallas Pride returns with a bang, featuring a full roster of in-person events around the city from Fair Park to the Oak Lawn gayborhood. Like most cities worldwide, Dallas canceled IRL Pride in favor of two days of virtual gatherings and while it was a nice gesture, things just weren’t the same. (The law wouldn’t officially come off the books until 2003 when the Supreme Court struck them down in every state.) Then in 2019, Pride festivities and the Alan Ross Texas Freedom Parade moved away from the Oak Lawn entertainment district to Fair Park-a decision that split the community despite its popular return to June in honor of Stonewall's 50th anniversary. Three years later, as the parade grew in size and visibility, the traditional June celebration month was ditched in favor of a (hopefully breezier) September fest commemorating the late-summer judicial ruling, albeit brief, that overturned Texas’ sodomy law.

After the LGBTQ+ community’s first small-but-significant march shocked many a closed-minded local in 1972-a mere three years after the Stonewall riots in New York City-the city saw very few Pride-related festivities until the next parade in 1980. Dallas Pride has had more dramatic twists in its nearly 50-year history than all of Bridegerton, RuPaul’s Drag Race, and Ryan Murphy’s fever dreams combined.
