Utah Pride 2023 Event Tickets On Sale Now

Utah Pride is an annual event organized by the Utah Pride Center, a 501(c)3 state-wide non-profit with the mission to unite, empower, and celebrate Utah’s diverse LGBTQ+ community. In 2023, this community’s beloved event has a new look and a new web home to increase visibility and accessibility. As one of Utah’s largest and fastest-growing community celebrations, Utah Pride is committed to providing an easy, fun, and meaningful experience to all participants.

“Queer Joy is a form of resistance now more essential than ever given that LGBTQ+ human rights are being deliberately undermined, and we’re seeing an increasing number of attacks against transgender youth. That’s why we invite everyone to join us in being unapologetic and loud about our unique identities.” Utah Pride Center Co-CEO Tanya Hawkins, she-her

This year’s Pride theme “UNAPOLOGETIC” wants to send the message that the LGBTQ+ community is coming out to celebrate diverse identities together, cohesively, without fears and imposed standards, free to express wholeness and beauty.
