Dallas Southern Pride 2025: Juneteenth, parade and dates

Dallas Southern Pride (DSP), one of the USA's most significant celebrations of Black LGBTQ+ culture, will return in 2025 for its Juneteenth Unity Weekend from Thursday, June 19 through Sunday, June 22. This four-day festival combines the celebration of Black LGBTQ+ pride with Juneteenth commemorations.

Originally established in 1997 as an informal gathering, Dallas Southern Pride has evolved into a major annual event that draws thousands of participants from across the country. 

The Juneteenth Unity Weekend features a diverse program of activities, including pool parties, cultural events, and signature nightlife celebrations. The Crowne Plaza Downtown Dallas typically serves as the host hotel and official meet-up location for attendees, with additional accommodations offered at partner hotels to accommodate the growing number of visitors.
