LGBTQ+ Phoenix

Greater Phoenix’s fusion of natural splendor and metropolitan verve sets it apart from a lot of big cities — and everyone is invited to experience it. As you explore the city's urban core, you'll discover a strong LGBTQ+ community that's integrated throughout the area's businesses, spaces, events and entertainment.

For the ninth consecutive year, Phoenix earned a score of 100 — the highest score possible — on the Human Rights Campaign's 2021 Municipal Equality Index Scorecard.
Join us for Phoenix's nationally-recognized annual LGBTQ+ events, including the Phoenix Pride Festival and the Rainbows Festival.
During the day in Phoenix, choose from outdoor activities, luxurious spa treatments, shopping at local boutiques or exploring the arts and culture.
At night, the city comes alive with vibrant LGBTQ+ nightlife. The Melrose District on Seventh Avenue is a hub for LGBTQ+ businesses and such clubs as Charlie’s and Stacy's @ Melrose — both of which landed on our list of must-see drag shows.
For more information on LGBTQ+ events and culture, visit the Greater Phoenix Equality Chamber of Commerce, Phoenix Pride, Pride Guide Arizona or ION Arizona magazine and mobile app.
