Pridefest Greenville returns for sixth annual celebration
June 1, 2026
The sixth annual free, family-friendly celebration takes place on June 6 at Hampton Station.
The sixth annual Pridefest Greenville will take place on Saturday, June 6, 2026, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Hampton Station, 1320 Hampton Ave Extension. The free, all-ages event connects LGBTQ youth and families with nonprofits and local businesses in a welcoming outdoor environment. The event is free to attend and open to all members of the public, with no tickets required.
“Our community needs joy and connection right now, and Pridefest is exactly that,” said Mike Guyton-Nunley, president of Pridefest Collaborative. “Hampton Station gives us the kind of open, welcoming space where LGBTQ families and youth can just show up and be themselves. We’re grateful for this partnership and excited to build on what we created together last year.”
This year’s programming will feature 40 vendors, a mix of nonprofits and local businesses, along with returning fan favorites including a silent disco, drag queen performances, and a dunk tank. New additions for 2026 include a misting station to keep attendees cool and a flash mob.
Pridefest Greenville was founded in 2021 with a commitment to remaining always free and always family friendly. The event has grown each year, outgrowing several previous venues before settling into Hampton Station as its home for the past two years. Security will be present throughout the event. Pridefest Greenville is free and open to all. For more information and vendor updates, visit pridefestcollab.org.
