The Wichita Pride organization’s 2025 Wichita Pride Festival kicks off with an Opening Night and Pride Pageant on June 27, and continues throughout the weekend with a rally, parade and more. Since this year is Wichita Pride’s Emerald Anniversary, the theme for this year’s festival is “There’s No Place Like Pride.”

Back for a third year, Wichita Pride is partnering with the Tallgrass Film Association (TFA) to present Pridegrass, a slate of LGBTQ+ programming in celebration of Pride for the month of June. Find ticket information and more Pridegrass details on TFA’s website.
