Photos: The 2025 Dallas Pride Parade Gave Us Everything

The LGBTQ+ community and its supporters showed up and showed out at Fair Park for the Dallas Pride festival this past weekend. While Saturday opened the celebrations with a music festival, Sunday saw Fair Park illuminated with one of Pride Month’s most marquee events in North Texas.

Performers, sponsors and entrants built floats and pulled them across Fair Park while showering attendees with swag and beads – all rainbow-colored, of course. The usual sponsors – banks like Comerica and the bars that cover the Cedar Springs Strip – all beamed down the path as employees and supporters dressed in their best Pride garb to put on a show for the crowd.

The absence of quite a few DFW sponsors we’ve seen in past years, like Lockheed Martin and Boeing, seemed to indicate a shift in the political environment with the new Trump administration. Although many Pride supporters might say that weapons manufacturers and corporate sponsors water down the message, anyway – an obligatory reminder that Pride began as a riot.

Regardless, those who did show up to put on a good time for attendees were loud and proud, and those among the crowd that lined the parade were done up to the nines in Pride gear. We wouldn’t expect anything less.

Here are some of our favorite looks and moments from this year’s Dallas Pride Parade.
