With the relocation comes several other changes to the event\u2019s programming and schedule. <\/p>\n<p>Previously, the Pride celebration was a multiday event that included several events separate from the parade. This year, it will be a single, all-day event on June 6, promising a \u201clighted extravaganza of rainbows\u201d beginning at 11 a.m. The parade itself will be moved from its early afternoon schedule in recent years and will now begin at 7 p.m., marching through downtown until 9 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Daytime activities will be spread across downtown, including Main Street Garden Park, Pegasus Plaza, Harwood Park and Pacific Plaza. For anyone who took public transit straight to Fair Park, multiple Pride locations will still be near downtown DART stations. Dallas Pride says more details on specific programming will be announced soon.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"569\" width=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Dallas-pride_2026_Graphic_Map_v2a.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40639435\"  \/>A map of the new layout for the Dallas Pride celebration in June. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the sun sets, the parade will illuminate the city with lights, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasobserver.com\/arts-culture\/dallas-pride-parades-best-photos-19543173\/\">outrageous costumes<\/a>, and vibrant pride,\u201d Dallas Pride said in a press release.
