Tickets on Sale Now for Dallas Pride 2021
Tickets are on sale now for Dallas Pride 2021, two nights of outdoor, in-person variety shows that will raise awareness and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. Both evenings’ events will take place at the Band Shell in Fair Park and will feature exciting talent from North Texas. The shows will also be streamed online at DallasPride.org.
“This pandemic has taught us we have to do things a little differently than we would normally do,” said Jaron Turnbow, executive director of Dallas Pride, “and while we are not having a Pride parade--nor are we having a festival, this year--these shows will allow us to be back out together to celebrate with our friends and allies.”
Friday, June 4, Marsha Dimes will host a show featuring entertainment from Uptown Players, Jada Pinkett Fox, IDT Band, Raquel Blake, The Roommates, Daphne Rio, Bleach and other artists.
On Saturday, June 5, the show hosted by Marsha Dimes will feature The Cast of the Rose Room; The Fly Queens; Sisters-in-Action; Sister Helen Holy; The FlannelTones, an ensemble of the Turtle Creek Chorale; Anton Shaw; Niecee X; Kameron Ross; and others. Kennedy Davenport, a star of
RuPaul’s Drag Race, also will perform.
On June 4 and June 5, gates for the events will open at 7 p.m. and show time is 8 p.m. Those attending virtually may log on to DallasPride.org starting at 7:30 p.m.
Talent for both evenings hails from North Texas. “This year, we wanted to celebrate our community and showcase the amazing talent that we have right here,” said Marsha Dimes, fabulously.
Tickets can only be purchased in advance, and are available by visiting
